Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To draw a normal to a spherical mirror at a particular point, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Spherical Mirror**: Recognize that a spherical mirror is a part of a sphere. It can either be a concave or a convex mirror. 2. **Locate the Center of Curvature**: Determine the center of curvature (C) of the spherical mirror. This point is located at a distance equal to the radius of curvature (R) from the mirror's surface. ...
