Is the principal focus of a mirror the midpoint of its radius of curvature?

Dear Student,

The focal length is given as.

f=R2

R is the radius of curvature.

So the principal focus of a mirror lies at the midpoint of it's radius of curvature.


Regards.....

Yes!! As we know that f=R/2. Regards.😊

The vertex is the geometric center of the mirror. Midway between the vertex and the center of curvature is a point known as the focal point; the focal point is denoted by the letter F in the diagram below. The distance from the vertex to the center of curvature is known as the radius of curvature (represented by R).

Niyathi, maybe you are mistaken... Please try asking your question in the ask and answer corner... (I tried translating but wasn't getting it that well... )
