The radius of curvature of a concave mir...

The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is 50 cm. Where should an object be held from the mirror so as to form its image at infinity?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `R=50 cm`, `f= R/2 = 50/2 =25 cm`. The object held at focus, i.e., at 25 cm from the mirror will have its image at infinity.
