To find the focal length of the equivalent mirror when the concave surface of a plano-concave lens is silvered, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the System We have a plano-concave lens where the concave surface is silvered. This means that the concave surface acts as a mirror. The plano-concave lens has a radius of curvature \( R \) for the concave surface and the other surface is plane (infinite radius of curvature). ### Step 2: Focal Length of the Plano-Concave Lens The formula for the focal length \( f_L \) of a plano-concave lens is given by: \[ ...
