if the wavelength of incident light on a i) concave mirror and ii) convex lens is increased, how will the focal length of each of these change?

as d wavelength of a light is increased, its focal length on concave miror will increase while that on convex mirror will decrease

In case of mirro there will be no effect.
For a mirror increase in wavelength means increase in refractive index and hence decreased focal length

in case of mirror no effect
it depends on radius only
in case of lens
use lens maker formula
wavelength increases so refractive index inc.
and hence focus increases........
