Question

The correct relation between the radius of curvature R and focal length f for a spherical mirror is:

A.

R2=f\frac{R}{2} = f​​

B.

R=f2R = \frac{f}{2}​​

C.

R = f

D.

1R=2f\frac{1}{R} = \frac{2}{f}​​

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A)​​R2=f​​\frac{R}{2}=f

  • A spherical mirror is a mirror whose reflecting surface is a part of a hollow sphere of glass.
  • One side of the mirror is well polished and reflecting, and another side of the mirror is opaque (often painted red).
  • Spherical mirrors are of two types - convex mirror, and Concave mirror. The image formed by the spherical mirrors depends on the position of the object.
EXPLANATION: The relationship between the focal length (f) and the radius of curvature (R) is given by –=>f=R2{f}=\frac{R}{2}​​
  • => R=2fR = 2f​​
