As per your syllabus, if a CONVEX MIRROR has R = 3.00 m, what is its FOCAL LENGTH (with sign)?
- +1.50 m (convex mirror focal length is positive, F behind the mirror)
- −1.50 m
- −3.00 m
- +3.00 m
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. +1.50 m (convex mirror focal length is positive, F behind the mirror)
As per your syllabus, convex mirror R = +3.00 m, so f = +R/2 = +1.50 m.
