The question is not complete so i have attached it.
Answer:
The light source is 2 cm from the bottom of the lamp
Explanation:
From the attached image, we can see that the parabola opens up with its vertex at the origin.
Now, the standard form of equation for a parabola is:
x² = 4ay
Looking at the parabola in the attachment, the top right edge of the lamp has a coordinate of (12,18)
Thus, we have;
12² = 4a(18)
144 = 72a
a = 144/72
a = 2
Looking at the parabola again, the line of symmetry is at x = 0
Thus, axis of symmetry is at x = 0.
Thus, focus is at (0, 2)
So, if the light source is placed at the focus, the distance of the light source from the bottom of the lamp is 2 cm
Focal length is the distance between the center of a convex lens or a concave mirror and the focal point of the lens or mirror — the point where parallel rays of light meet, or converge. From the optics the focal length of the mirror can be defined as the radius of the mirror divided between two, or in other words, half the radius of the mirror.
Therefore the focal length of the mirror is 17cm
