Reflection & Mirrors

The focal length f is related to the radius of curvature r of the spherical convex mirror by:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. For any spherical mirror the focus is midway between the pole and the centre of curvature.
  2. For a convex mirror both ff and rr are positive (behind the mirror), so f=+12rf = +\frac{1}{2}r.
  3. So the answer is (c).
