Detailed Solution

The focal length is 12 cm.
Given,
Radius of curvature, R=24 cm
It is known that “the focal length is half of the radius of the curvature of the mirror.” Mathematically, it can be written as
f=R/2
where f is the focal length and R is the radius of the curvature of the mirror.
On substituting the given value of the radius of curvature, we get
f=24/2
f=12 cm
Hence, the focal length of the mirror is 12 cm.
