Will there be...

Question

Will there be any difference in the focal lengths of the spherical mirrors if they are immersed in water ?

Solution

Mirrors work on the principle of reflection and thus their focal lengths do not depend upon the medium they are placed in.
Thus, their focal length would not change when immersed in water.
