You have a convex, spherical mirror (as shown below) with a radius of curvature R=3.22m (the distance of the "Radial Line" shown in the image below). You shine light rays that are parallel to the principlal axis of the mirror as shown below that reflect in such a way that it appears all rays originated at the a point called the focal point of the mirror (F). Along the principal axis of the mirror, how far behind the mirror is the focal point (in meters)? It is important to point out that the focal point of convex mirrors, strictly speaking, is negative. This is because the object appears to originate from behind the mirror. Here, don't worry about the negative sign. Give a positive answer. Principal axis Radial line, normal to mirror surface Note: Do not explicitly include units in your answer (it is understood the unit is meter). Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.

You have a convex, spherical mirror (as shown below) with a radius of curvature R=3.33m (the distance of the "Radial Line" shown in the image below). You shine light rays that are parallel to the principlal axis of the mirror as shown below that reflect in such a way that it appears all rays originated at the a point called the focal point of the mirror (F).
