Question

The radius of curvature of  a plane mirror is

A.

\infin​​

B.

0

C.

25 cm

D.

50 cm

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: A. ∞ (infinity)

Information Booster
  • A plane mirror is a flat mirror with no curvature.
  • The radius of curvature (R) is the radius of the sphere of which the mirror is a part.
  • For a plane mirror, this radius is infinite because the mirror surface is flat, not curved.
  • Hence, the radius of curvature R=∞.

Additional Information

  • For concave or convex mirrors, radius of curvature is finite and related to focal length by:

R=2f

  • Plane mirrors always form virtual, erect, and same size images.
  • Their focal length is also considered infinite because f=R/2=∞/2=∞.
