Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but I have trouble understanding the concave mirror diagrams.
For example, a candle is resting on the ground(the principal axis), they will draw the reflected candle as if it’s not even in the mirror and it’s underneath the ground. I get confused and ask myself, “How can a candle reflect in the ground? And how can the light rays go through the ground?”

Why does the ground have to match the principal axis? I’m really confused about what you’re asking. Could you share a link to one of these images? I looked for concave mirror diagrams and didn’t find one yet.
