Light rays that are parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at a specific point on its principal axis after reflecting from the mirror. This point is known as the focus of the concave mirror.
f=R/2
f=60/2
f=30cm

The focal length of the concave mirror is +30 cm.
Explanation:
The focus of a concave mirror is defined as number of rays parallel to principal axis when reflected appear to meet at a point on principal axis.
The radius of curvature of a convex mirror is 60 cm. We need to find its focal length. We know that the relation between the radius of curvature and the focal length is given by :
R = 2f
f = +30 cm
So, the focal length of the concave mirror is +30 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
