Multiple Choice Questions Based On Experiment

This document provides multiple choice questions about determining the focal length of a concave mirror through experimentation. It tests understanding of key concepts like: 1) The relation between focal length f and radius of curvature R for a spherical mirror is f = R/2. 2) To determine focal length, the screen should be placed at a right angle to the plane of the mirror and the distance between the mirror and screen is measured. 3) For a concave mirror, the focal length is always negative according to sign convention.
