    The radius of curvature of  a plane mirror is
    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=∞.
