Answer:
f = 12 cm
Explanation:
<u>Center of Curvature</u>:
The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of mirror.
<u>The Radius of Curvature</u>:
The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.
<u>Focal Length</u>:
The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.
The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:
where,
f = focal length = ?
R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm
Therefore,
<u>f = 12 cm</u>

Explanation:
Water does expand with heat (and contract with cooling), but the amount of expansion is pretty small. So when you boil a can filled with water and seal it, the water will contract slightly as it cools. The can may kink slightly, but that will be it. Actually, most likely the only things you will be able to see is then top and bottom will be sucked in and go concave. Just like a commercial can of beans.
Now if you have a can with a little water and a big air space, things are completely different.
As the water boils, water vapour is given off. Steam. Let it boils for a minute just to make sure (nearly) all the air is expelled and the can is filled with steam.
Now when you put the lid on and cool the can, that steam condenses back to water, and goes from filling the can to a few drops of water. The can is now filled (if that is the right word) with a near vacuum, The air pressure, 15 lbs/square inch, will be pressing on every surface of the can, with nothing inside the can to resist it.
The can will crumple before your eyes.
