Answer:
radius of the curvature of the mirror is defined by the radius of the sphere from which the mirror was cut from. Therefore the radius of curvature of a plane mirror is infinite in length
Radius of curvature (R) = 20 cm
Radius of curvature of a spherical mirror = 2 X Focal length (f)
R= 2f
f= R/2
f = 20 / 2
f = 10
Hence, the focal length of the given spherical mirror is 10 cm
