a lens will focus the light to a point or will disperse it(concave or convex lens) same as with a mirror, tho lens have a differnce, they are transparent and will let the light rays pass through themand form a real image behind the lens, while a mirror cannot.

Where is the focus located?

The focus is the point at which light rays converge after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror. For a concave mirror or converging lens, the focus is in front of the mirror/lens. For a convex mirror or diverging lens, the focus is behind the mirror/lens.


Does the focal length of a spherical mirror or lens change when placed under water?

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


Why does the focal length of a mirror not depend on the mirror material when the focal length of a lens does depend on the lens material?

The focal length for a mirror is determined by the law of reflection from the mirror surface. This law is not governed by the material that the mirror is made by. This means that the focal length depends only on the radius and curvature. Conversely, the focal length of a lens depends on the indices of refraction of the lens meterial and the surrounding medium.

What telescope has an eyepiece lens and a mirror?

A reflecting telescope has both an eyepiece lens and a mirror. Light enters the telescope and is reflected off the primary mirror to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece where it is magnified for viewing.
