उत्तर
Focus of a convex mirror: The focus of a convex mirror is a point on the principal axis from which, the light rays incident parallel to principal axis, appear to come, after reflection from the mirror.
Focal length of a convex mirror: The distance of the focus from the pole of the convex mirror is called its focal length.
