As per your syllabus, what is FOCAL LENGTH (f) of a spherical mirror?
- Half the aperture
- Twice the radius of curvature
- The distance between the POLE (P) and the PRINCIPAL FOCUS (F)
- Distance from pole to centre of curvature
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. The distance between the POLE (P) and the PRINCIPAL FOCUS (F)
As per your syllabus, f = distance PF.
R = 2f relates focal length to radius of curvature.
