a)

I Principal focus of a convex mirror: The principal focus of a convex mirror occurs when all of the reflected light rays meet at a location after diverging in the mirror.

ii) Focal length of a convex mirror: The focal length of a convex mirror is the distance between the pole and the primary focus.
