i do not think so because a mirror an a lens is two same things except that mirrors can reflect the water and the lens may refract or bend the water so that can change the focal length between the mirror and the lens

What is the focal length of a mirror when it is placed in water with respect to air?

The focal length remains the same because only refraction is affected by the different media. Reflection does not depend on the media.


What shape is a concave mirror and what do things look like in it?

A concave mirror bulges away from the incident light. The image of an object depends on where exactly the object is placed - relative the to focal length of the mirror. See the attached link for more details.

A candle is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a distance of 20 cm from the mirror the focal length of the mirror is 10cm the image formed will be?

Use 1/s + 1/s' = 1/f s = 20cm f = +10cm (positive since the mirror is concave) 1/s'=1/f - 1/s 1/s'=1/10 - 1/20 = 1/20 So, s'=20cm. The distance from the image to the mirror is 20cm, which is not surprising, since the object placed at 1/2 of the focal length and therefore exactly at the radius of curvature point. The image is real and inverted.
