The focal length for a spherical convex mirror is –20 cm. What is its radius of curvature?
1 answer:
Answer:
40 cm
Explanation:
The focus of a spherical convex mirror is the point at which the rays of an object converge in the infinite, it is also the point at which an object must be placed so that its image is formed in the infinite. The distance from the focus to the origin is called the focal length and is called f. It is related to the radius of the mirror, R, according to:
rewriting for R:

Using the Definition of Kinetic Energy, we have:
Explanation:
A charge alters the space around it. This alteration of space is called the electric field. It is also defined as the electric force acting on a charged particle per unit test charge. It is given by :
Where
F is the electric force,
The direction of electric field is in the direction of electric force. For a positive charge, the direction of electric field lines are outwards and for a negative charge, the direction of field lines are inwards.
Hence, the correct option is (c) "electric field".
