Detailed Solution

Concave mirrors as well as convex lenses can make a parallel beam of light when light from a point source incident on it.
When light rays from a point source strike a concave mirror and a convex lens, the emergent beams are parallel, and an image at infinity is formed. A virtual image is always formed by a convex mirror and a concave lens. When the object is kept in focus, the resulting beams are not parallel but diverging.
