Write the mirror equation for a spherical mirror.
(N/A) The mirror equation relates the object distance $(u)$,the image distance $(v)$,and the focal length $(f)$ of a spherical mirror. It is given by the formula:
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$
Where:
$f$ is the focal length of the mirror.
$v$ is the distance of the image from the pole of the mirror.
$u$ is the distance of the object from the pole of the mirror.
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$
Where:
$f$ is the focal length of the mirror.
$v$ is the distance of the image from the pole of the mirror.
$u$ is the distance of the object from the pole of the mirror.

Assertion : The formula connecting $u, v$ and $f$ for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature.
Reason : Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces,but not for large spherical surfaces.
