Question:
A concave mirror is held in water. What should be the change in the focal length of the mirror?
Options:
Halved
Doubled
Remains the same
None of the above
Correct Answer:
Remains the same
Explanation:
In case of spherical mirrors (both concave and convex), there will be no change in the focal length of the mirrors when immersed in water. This is because the focal length of mirrors does not depend on the external medium in which it is held.
