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