Why is the focal length of a plane mirror infinity?
In a plane mirror, the radius of curvature is infinitly long, so the focus will be at infinity. Another way to say it is that a plane mirror has no curvature, and as curvature becomes increasingly small, focal length becomes increasingly long. At a curvature of zero, focal length becomes infinite. Focal length(f) is given by f=R/2 where R is radius of curvature.. Once again, it's infinity! See answer to your question on radius of curvature. Plug infinity (radius of curvature) into your mirror equation to get the focal length, which will also be infinite. A flat mirror does not focus incoming parallel beams. That's because if you say its at infinity it means it does exist in a finite distance, that is instead of saying it does exist its taken at infinite distance for only theoretical importance and not for practical observance. Focal length is half of radius of curvature of the mirror. So bigger the circle gets the more its radius will be. So in the same way as the curvature of the sphere gets less and less its focal length increases, so when it becomes totally flat the focal length will become infinite so it means it has no existence but it has only theoretical importance. It same as taking the formation of image of an object at principal focus to be at infinite distance rather than saying it does not form ( that is both mean the same). hope my answer is satisfactory
What do you mean by an equivalent lens and equivalent focal length?
It means that if you combine two or more lenses (one after the other), the effect (for many purposes) would be similar to a single lens that has such-and-such properties.
What is the dimension that we see in?
What do you mean? We live, breathe, are active - and see - in a three-dimensional world.
If a plane is moving at 250 miles and has A MASS of 1000 kg what is the momentum?
A plane doesn't move "at 250 miles"; probably you mean "miles per hour". Convert that to meter/second, then multiply the mass with the speed.
What is the symbol a circle with a horizontal line through it mean?
Focal/film plane symbol on a 35mm camera It marks the exact location of the film in relation to the body of the SLR camera if one needs exact focal lengths.

Was pharos Egyptian for lighthouse?
Pharos was not Arabic ("Egyptian") for "lighthouse." Pharos was the island the world's first lighthouse, the Pharos of Alexandria, was built on. It was called that because of the island. However, derivatives of the word "Pharos" mean "lighthouse" in at least six languages, including Portugese, Spanish, French, Romanian, Italian, and Albanian. "Pharos" still does not mean "lighthouse" in Arabic.
What does a line circle and line mean on a map?
A circle divided horizontally is the symbol for the Focal Plane of a camera, the actual point of focus. It is sometimes stamped on the back of a camera body in the appropriate space. The ( Focal plane indicator) is not something akin to a compass or speedometer- with movable parts. it is a reference mark. a Circle with a central Vertical Line- often used on Maps, generally means Latitude or observed latitude. Do not confuse with degrees. That"s my take.
