Question 1
Find the focal length of a convex mirror whose radius of curvature is 32 cm.

Open in App

Solution

Radius of curvature, R = 32 cm
Radius of curvature = $2 \times$ focal length (f)
$F = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{32 c m}{2} = 16 c m$
Hence, the focal length of the given convex mirror is 16 cm.
