A concave mirror is a part of hollow sphere of radius 40 cm. What will be the focal length of concave mirror?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the focal length of a concave mirror given its radius of curvature, we can use the relationship between the focal length (f) and the radius of curvature (R). The formula is: \[ f = \frac{R}{2} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Radius of Curvature (R)**: - The problem states that the radius of the hollow sphere (which is the radius of curvature of the concave mirror) is 40 cm. ...
