- Spherical mirrors are a part of the whole sphere.
- Focal length (f): The distance between the centre of the mirror and the focal point (where parallel rays of light meet or appear to meet) of the mirror is called the focal length.
- The radius of curvature (R): The distance between the centre of the lens or mirror to the vertex which is located on the local optical axis is called the Radius of Curvature.
- The focal length is half of the radius of curvature.
f = R/2
EXPLANATION:
The relationship between the radius of curvature and focal length is given by:
R = 2f
The radius of curvature is twice the focal length. So option 3 is correct.
