Question

If the focal length of a spherical mirror increases to double, their the radius of curvature of the mirror will:

A.

​increase to double​

B.

​remain the same​

C.

​increase to four times​

D.

​decrease to half​

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A) increase to double.

  • Relationship Between the Focal Length and the Radius of Curvature
  • We are able to quickly establish the relationship thanks to the figure's geometry.
  • f = R/2
  • Convex mirrors can also be described in terms of this relationship.
  • It is assumed that the mirror's aperture is relatively small in this relationship.
  • The radius of curvature is twice as long as the focal length when spherical mirrors with small apertures are used.
  • Consequently, R = 2f.
  • We can confidently assert that the center of a spherical mirror, between the pole and the center of curvature, is the primary focus.
  • A spherical mirror is a mirror with a reflecting surface that is part of a hollow glass sphere. One side of the mirror is polished and reflective, while the other side is opaque. There are two types of spherical mirrors: convex and concave. A concave mirror has an inward reflecting surface, and the images it forms can be real or virtual.
