To calculate the focal length of a spherical mirror given the object distance \( u \) and the image distance \( v \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the mirror formula The mirror formula for a spherical mirror is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} \] where \( f \) is the focal length, \( u \) is the object distance, and \( v \) is the image distance. ...
