Define the radius of curvature of a spherical mirror. Find the nature and focal length of a spherical mirror whose radius of curvature is 24 cm. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :The radius of the sphere from which the mirror is made is called the Radius of CURVATURE [r] of the spherical mirror. The radius of curvature is a LINE joining any point on the reflecting SURFACE of the mirror to the centre of the mirror [C]. r = 2 [focal length of the spherical mirror] `r=+24 cm = 2f "" f=+12 cm` The spherical mirror is a CONVEX mirror. |
