How is the focal length of a spherical mirror be affected when the wavelength of the light used is increased?

The focal length of the mirror is a property of the geometry of the mirror. It doesn't
depend on the wavelength of radiation that's incident upon it. For that matter, the
mirror could be wrapped in thick black flannel, sealed in an airtight lead box, and
stored in a pitch-dark underground cavern, without a single photon hitting it, and
it would still have a focal length.

How is the focal length of a spherical mirror affected when the wavelength of light used is increased?
The focal length does not depend upon the wavelength or the frequency so it remains unaffected.
Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
What is the Dimension of Wavelength?
The give-away should be the word "length" which is hidden in the word "wavelength". Wavelength has the dimensions of length, and is most often stated in meters or centimeters (radio), nanometers (light), etc.
What is wavelength for kids?
wavlength is the length of a wave
What is the length of full wave?
The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".

What happens to the wave length if the freqency of pulses is increased?
Wavelength shortens as frequendcy increases.
Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
What is the length of an ultraviolet wavelength compared to an x-ray wavelength?
The wavelength of the x-ray is shorter.
What is the length of a electromagnetic wavelength?
They come in practically any size of wavelength.
What happens to the speed of a wave on a string when the frequency is doubled?
I believe that the speed will remain constant, and the new wavelength will be half of the original wavelength. Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength). This depends on the method used to increase the frequency. If the tension on the string is increased while maintaining the same length (like tuning up a guitar string), then the speed will increase, rather than the wavelength.
What is the length of egg that has diameter of 120mm in scientific notation?
There is no simple answer to this question because eggs are not spherical but ellipsoids (3 dimensional ellipses). There is, therefore, no direct link between the diameter and length. If it were spherical, the length would have been 1.2*10^2 mm.
Why the wave length does not affect the wave speed?
Because it only resembles the wavelength, the speed is how fast the wave travels. two waves of the same size can travel at the same speed Wave speed is affected by a combination of wavelength and frequency, not just one alone.

The distance between two successive peaks on a wave is its?
The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.
What is the length of full wave?
The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".
