Question

Obtain the mirror equation for a spherical mirror answer

Answer 1

One of the easiest shapes to analyze is the spherical mirror. Typically such a mirror is not a complete sphere, but a spherical cap — a piece sliced from a larger imaginary sphere with a single cut. Although one could argue that this statement is quantifiably false, since ball bearings are complete spheres and they are shiny and plentiful. Nonetheless as far as optical instruments go, most spherical mirrors are spherical caps.
