Problem

To find the index error ee, the distance between the object needle and the pole of a concave mirror is 20 cm20\ \text{cm}. The separation between the indices of the object needle and mirror is observed to be 20.2 cm20.2\ \text{cm}. In an observation, the observed image distance is 20.2 cm20.2\ \text{cm} and the observed object distance is 30.2 cm30.2\ \text{cm}. Find: (a) The index error ee. (b) The focal length of the mirror ff.
