Curvature is a general term to describe a graph. Like, concave or convex.
Radius of curvature is more exact. If the curve in a 'small' section is allow to continue with the same curvature it would form a circle. that PRETEND circle would have an exact radius. That is the radius of curvature.

What is the curvature of circle having radius a?
1/aAccording to Wikipedia,"The canonical example of extrinsic curvature is that of a circle, which has curvature equal to the inverse of its radius everywhere. Smaller circles bend more sharply, and hence have higher curvature. The curvature of a smooth curve is defined as the curvature of its osculating circle at each point."
What is the difference between a radii and radius?
'Radii' is the plural word of the 'Radius'. Because radius is the distance between neucleous to electron cloud. But radii is the distance from ions distances.
Difference between filet and radius?
The filet is part of the radius, therefore making the term filet radius. A filet radius measures an inside corner. A corner radius measures an outside corner.
What is the length of an arc if we know the radius of curvature is 12 in. and the area of the sector created is 252 in2?
It is 42 inches.
What is the difference between radius and diameter?
radius is half and diameter is the whole Expanding theabove statement: Diameter is the width of a circle; Radius is one half the width. In math, the radius refers to the distance from the centerpoint of a circle out to the edge.
What is the difference between Radius of curvature and centre of curvature?
the center of curvature is the ORIGIN of the radius of curvature
What is the difference between tangent continuity and curvature continuity?
Tangent continuity: No sharp angles. Curvature continuity: No sharp radius changes.
What is the difference between long radius and short radius bend in oil and gas pipes?
The difference between the 2 is length and curvature. A short radius elbow offers a tighter turn than the long radius. The short radius elbow is cheaper and will fit into a tighter space.
The relation between focal length and radius of curvature of spherical mirror is?
The focal length of a convex mirror is half of its radius of curvature.
What does curvature ratio mean in tubing?
Radius of curvature divided by tube diameter. To get the radius of curvature, imaging the bend in the tube is a segment of a circle, the radius of curvature is the radius of that circle.
What is the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature of a circle, or an arc of a circle is the same as the radius of the circle.For a curve (other than a circle) the radius of curvature at a given point is obtained by finding a circular arc that best fits the curve around that point. The radius of that arc is the radius of curvature for the curve at that point.The radius of curvature for a straight line is infinite.
What is the relationship between focal length and radius of curvature?
R = 2f
How do you derive relation between focal length and radius of curvature of convex mirror?
the curvature mirror the emage of the mirror is virtual
What is the relation between focal length and center of curvature?
The focal length of a concave mirror is about equal to half of its radius of curvature.
How do you find radius of curvature if focal length is given?
radius of curvature = 2Focal length
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.
Why should radius of curvature of lens in newton's ring apparatus be large?
Propably because it would be very difficult to measure the difference between the rings' diameters.
