Question

A beam of light parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror appears to diverge from a single point after reflection, at a distance of 56 cm from the pole of the mirror. The radius of curvature of the mirror is ____ cm.

hintHint:

112

The correct answer is: 112


    The distance between the focus and the pole of the mirror is called focal length.
    Radius of curvature is twice the focal length.
    Given focal length=56 cm
    Hence, radius of curvature= 2×56 =112 cm
