P,Q,R and S are four points on the surface of a concave mirror as shown in the figure. If r_1,r_2,r_3 and r_4 are the distance of centre of curvature
Question

P,Q,R and S are four points on the surface of a concave mirror as shown in the figure. If r_1,r_2,r_3 and r_4 are the distance of centre of curvature from points P,Q,R and S, respectively, then the correct relation between r_1,r_2,r_3 and r_4 is:

A.

r_1=r_2,r_3=r_4 r_2≠r_3

B.

r_1=r_2=r_3=r_4

C.

r_1>r_2>r_3>r_4

D.

r_1<r_2<r_3<r_4

Correct option is B

From the figure provided, the distances r1​, r2​,r3​, and r4​ represent the distances of the center of curvature (C) from points P, Q, R, and S located on the concave mirror.

Explanation:

  1. A concave mirror is a part of a sphere. The distance from the center of curvature (C) to any point on the surface of the mirror is the radius of curvature (R).
  2. Since the concave mirror is a spherical mirror, all points on the reflective surface of the mirror lie at the same distance from the center of curvature (C).

Correct Relation:

r1=r2=r3=r4
