Question

A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 1.02 m. A bouquet of roses is placed 1.55 m from the mirror on its reflecting side. At what distance from the mirror will the roses be focused sharply on a screen? Answer in units of m.

00:01 So this is the concave mirror.
00:03 We are given that the radius of curvature is 1 .02 meters.
00:07 The focal length would be negative r by 2 because it would lie to the left of the mirror.
00:11 So as per the sign convention, we will take it negative 0 .51 meters.
00:16 Object distance is negative 1 .55 meters because again, the object would lie to the left of the mirror.
00:21 And as per the sign convention, we will take its value negative...
