Question

define principal focus and radius of curvature for a spherical mirror give the relation between two

Answer 1

principle focus is the point in principle axis, from which rays appear to diverge after reflection or refraction.
radius of curvature is the radius of the sphere of which the mirror is a part.
The distance between principle focus and the mirror is known as focal length.
It has an equation , radius of curvature =2×focal length.

PRINCIPAL AXIS

FOCAL LENGTH

PRINCIPAL FOCUS

CENTER OF CURVATURE

RADIUS OF CURVATURE

$\Large\fbox{\color{purple}{ SOLUTION }}$

★ PRINCIPAL AXIS ★

THE STRAIGHT LINE THAT GOES TO THE CENTRE OF THE SPHERICAL MIRROR AT RIGHT ANGLE TO THE MIRROR IS CALLED PRINCIPAL AXIS

★ FOCAL LENGTH ★

IT IS THE DISTANCE ON PRINCIPAL AXIS FROM PRINCIPAL FOCUS TO THE POLES OF SPHERICAL MIRROR

★ PRINCIPAL FOCUS ★

IT IS A POINT ON PRINCIPAL AXIS WHERE ALL REFLECTED RAYS ARE EITHER CONVERGE OR DIVERGE

★ CENTER OF CURVATURE ★

IT IS THE CENTRE OF THE SPHERE WHICH MIRROR IS A PART

★ RADIUS OF CURVATURE ★

IT IS A DISTANCE ON PRINCIPAL AXIS FROM CENTRE OF CURVATURE TO THE POLES OF SPHERICAL MIRROR
