CONCEPT:

Concave mirror: 

  • If the inner surface of the spherical mirror is the reflecting surface, then it is called a concave mirror. It is also called a focusing mirror/converging mirror.
    • The size of the image produced by these mirrors can be larger or smaller than the object, depending upon the distance of the object from the mirror.
    • The concave mirror can form both real as well as virtual images of any object.
    • The concave mirror converges ray of lights into a point called focus.
    • The distance between the pole (Center of reflecting surface) and the focus of a concave mirror is termed as focal length (F).  

EXPLANATION:

  • In case of concave mirrors, there will be no change in the focal length of the mirrors when immersed in water. Therefore the focal length of concave mirror is 'f'.
  • It is so because the focal length of mirrors does not depend on the external medium in which it is held.
