What is meant by the radius of curvature of a spherical mirror? How is it related to the focal length of the mirror?
(N/A) The radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is defined as the radius of the hollow sphere of glass of which the mirror is a part.
It is denoted by the symbol $R$.
The relationship between the radius of curvature $(R)$ and the focal length $(f)$ of a spherical mirror is given by the formula $R = 2f$,which means the radius of curvature is twice the focal length.
