If the focal lenght of a concave mirror is 15 cm find the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature and the focal length mean the same so the radius of curvature is also 15 cm.
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.
Method to find Radius of curvature through differenciation?
You need to do your differentiation in terms of polar coordinates
Is the focal length equal to the radius of curvature of the mirror?
yes
How do you find radius of curvature if focal length is given?
radius of curvature = 2Focal length
If the focal lenght of a concave mirror is 15 cm find the radius of curvature?
The radius of curvature and the focal length mean the same so the radius of curvature is also 15 cm.
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 difference between curvature and radius of curvature?
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 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.
How do you find radius of curvature if image distance is given?
There is not enough information to answer the question.
Give The formula for radius of curvature in polar form?
The radius of curvature is given by(1)where is the curvature. At a given point on a curve, is the radius of the osculating circle. The symbol is sometimes used instead of to denote the radius of curvature (e.g., Lawrence 1972, p. 4).Let and be given parametrically by(2) (3)then(4)where and . Similarly, if the curve is written in the form , then the radius of curvature is given by

Can focal length and radius of curvature of a lens be same?
NO it cannot be. Because radius of curvature is given by the expression R = 2 f
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.
