How do you measure quickly the approximately focal length of a concave mirror?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To measure the approximate focal length of a concave mirror quickly, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Gather Materials**: You will need a concave mirror, a cardboard screen (or any flat surface), and a distant object (like a tree or a building). 2. **Position the Mirror**: Hold the concave mirror facing a distant object. Ensure that the object is far enough away (ideally at infinity) so that the light rays coming from it are parallel. ...
