Focal length Concave mirror

To measure the focal length of a concave mirror

Diagram

 

 

 

Formula = 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

 

Errors = opinion when image is sharpest. Ruler accurate to +/-1mm.

 

Accuracy = Do experiment many times.

 

An approximation of the focal length was found so as to ensure object was placed outside it and therefore ensuring a real image is being produced.
