Question

'The smaller the radius of curvature,the more curved the mirror is.' Give reason. Justify this statement.

Answer 1

Dear Student,
Answer to your question is given below:
The distance from the vertex to the centre of curvature is known as the radius of curvature. Also we know that, if the radius of curvature is small, then the mirror will have small aperture and hence the mirror will be more curved. Therefore, the smaller the radius of curvature, the more curved the mirror is.
