AB is the object, A1B1 is its image. MM' is the position of the mirror. Complete the ray diagram and find the position of the center of curvature and focus of the mirror. Also, measure the focal length.

उत्तर
A light ray coming from a point on object AB is reflected from the surface of the mirror. When this ray is produced backwards, it passes through the principal focus and the ray which traces its incident path after reflection, when produced backwards, passes through the centre of curvature. These two reflected rays coincide at a point where the image is formed. The image, A'B' is virtual, erect, and diminished in size The focal length was found to be 24 mm.
