A ray of light is incident on a concave mirror . It is parallel to the principal axis and its height from principal axis is equal to the focal length of the mirror. The ratio of the distance of point B to the distance of the focus from the centre of curvature is (AB is the reflected ray)

Rays parallel to principal axis, incident on the spherical mirror at different heights from principal axis are focused at different points. And due to this reason we cannot define unique focus. This is known as spherical aberration. Angle of incidence theta shown in figure depends on the height of ray above principal axis. Focal length of spherical mirror can be easily written in terms of angle theta shown in figure as follows : f = R- (R)/(2)sec theta Here R is radius of curvature of mirror. The light rays which are very close to principal axis are known as paraxial rays and rays far away from principal axis are called marginal rays. Let f_(P) and fm represent the focal length corresponding to paraxial rays and marginal rays respectively then

A concave mirror is placed inside water its shining surface upwards and principal axis vertical as shown in figure. Rays are incient parallel to the principal axis of the concave mirror. Find the position of the final image.
