The focal length of a spherical mirror is given by` f=R/2` , where R is radius of curvature of the mirror. For a given spherical mirror made of steel the focal length is f = 24.0 cm. Find its new focal length if temperature increases by `50^(@)C`. Given = `alpha_("Steel")=1.2 xx 10^(- 5).^(@)C^(-1)`
