A converging beam of light rays in incident on a concave spherical mirror whose radius of curvature is `0.8m`. Determine the position of the point on the optical axis of the mirror where the reflected rays intersect, if the extensions of the incident rays intersect the optical axis `40cm` form the mirror's pole.
