The focal length \(f\) is related to the radius of curvature \(R\) of the spherical convex mirror by
- A \(f =+\frac{1}{2} R\)
- B \(f =- R\)
- C \(f=-\frac{1}{2} R\)
- D \(f = R\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(f =+\frac{1}{2} R\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For convex mirror, focus is behind the mirror. \(\Rightarrow f =+\frac{ R }{2}\)
