define radius of curvature and focal length with references of spherical mirror

Open in App

Solution

Dear student, Radius of curvature(R) The distance between the centre of curvature and pole is known as the radius of curvature. Focal length âˆ’ The distance between the pole and the principal focus of the mirror is called the focal length (f) of the mirror. Thanks and regards.
