Hiii.......
Here is answer....
If spherical mirror breaks , the individual pieces
are also mirrors....
Because each individual piece is still a mirror. A mirror is glass backed by reflective material. Each piece is still glass backed by reflective material, albeit smaller than the intact mirror........
There is also no change in the radius of curvature , focal length as reflecting surface is same ......
Hope it helps.....

Helloo!!
the surface of the mirror is no longer perfectly flat.
This means that we'll see something different on each flat piece, because the light being reflected back to you comes from different directions, depending on how each piece of the broken mirror is angled.!
