Solution
(i) Fix the concave mirror on the stand and place it on table facing towards a distant object.
(ii) Arrange the screen on the table so that the image of the distant object is obtained on it.
(iii) Measure the distance between the mirror and the screen using a metre scale. This distance is the focal length (F) of the mirror.

The speed of light in water is 2.25 × 108 ms–1. If the speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 108 ms–1, calculate the refractive index of water.
Assertion and reasoning type
- Assertion: If the refractive index of the medium is high (denser medium) the velocity of the light in that medium will be small
- Reason: Refractive index of the medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of the light
