The relation between focal length and radius of curvature of spherical mirror is?
The focal length of a convex mirror is half of its radius of curvature.
How can a spherical mirror become a plane mirror?
By increasing its radius of curvature to infinity.
Which doesnot change when spherical mirror is broken?
Its radius of curvature and its reflecting property
How do you derive relation between focal length and radius of curvature of convex mirror?
the curvature mirror the emage of the mirror is virtual
Is the focal length equal to the radius of curvature of the mirror?
yes
What is the relation between focal length and center of curvature?
The focal length of a concave mirror is about equal to half of its radius of curvature.
How can find the radius of curvature?
There is a specific formula for finding the radius of a curvature, used often when one is measuring a mirror. The formula is: Radius of curvature = R =2*focal length.
If the focal lenght of a concave mirror is 15 cm find the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature and the focal length mean the same so the radius of curvature is also 15 cm.
How do you find radius of curvature if focal length is given?
radius of curvature = 2Focal length
What is radius of curvature?
The radius of the sphere of which a lens surface or curved mirror forms a part is called the radius of curvature.
Why the focal length of concave mirror changes in water?
I don't think so. The focal length would remain the same. It mainly depends on the radius of curvature of the mirror.
Sum of focal length and radius of curvuture is 30cmWhat is the focal length of this spherical mirror?
f=r/2 =30/2 =15cm
