What is radius of curvature?

The radius of the sphere of which a lens surface or curved mirror forms a part is called the radius of curvature.

What are spherical mirrors?

The most curved mirrors are spherical mirrors. The centre of curved surface is called center of curvature. There are two kinds of spherical mirrors. Concave and convex mirror.


What is the difference of a concave mirror to a convex?

Concave mirror* its reflecting surface is curved inwards*it can form both real and virtual images*the centre of curvature and the focus lies in front of the mirror*it can form both enlarged and diminished imagesConvex mirror* its reflecting surface is curved outwards*it can form only virtual images*the centre of curvature and the focus lies behind the mirror*it can form only diminished images


Has a convex lateral surface called greater curvature and a concave medial surface called lesser curvature?

The stomach has a greater and lesser curvature. The greater curvature is the more lateral of the two.

What is the center of curvature of a mirror?

A plane mirror is not curved so it does not have a center of curvature. Or if you want to be mathematically correct, you could say that it's center of curvature is at an infinite distance from the mirror.


Examples of concave and convex mirrors?

Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere. Also called as fish eye or diverging mirror. The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface. In concave mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.


Finding area of a curved surface?

That can be a complicated process (although some curves are simpler than others). If the curvature can be described by an algebraic equation, then the area can be calculated by means of integral calculus. Alternatively, if you can fit simpler geometric shapes (such as squares and triangles) into the curved surface in a way that approximately fills that surface, you can use simpler means to calculate the area.
