Please answer question 43.
Q.43. State the precautions that should be taken while doing the experiment, to determine the focal length of a concave mirror by obtaining the image of a distant object.

  1. The distant object should be clearly visible.
  2. The image on the wall should be well defined and sharp.
    (Student must pay special attention to get the sharp image. Obtaining a blurred image will give you an incorrect measurement of the focal length of a concave mirror).
  3.  While measuring the distance, the meter scale should be kept parallel to the ground.
  4.  The meter scale must be correctly positioned between the wall and center of the concave mirror. Important note: This experiment can be performed outside the laboratory by taking the image on the screen (white paper) or white painted board or outer wall of the laboratory.
