Rays parallel to principal axis, incident on the spherical mirror at different heights from principal axis are focused at different points. And due to this reason we cannot define unique focus. This is known as spherical aberration. Angle of incidence theta shown in figure depends on the height of ray above principal axis. Focal length of spherical mirror can be easily written in terms of angle theta shown in figure as follows : f = R- (R)/(2)sec theta Here R is radius of curvature of mirror. The light rays which are very close to principal axis are known as paraxial rays and rays far away from principal axis are called marginal rays. Let f_(P) and fm represent the focal length corresponding to paraxial rays and marginal rays respectively then

The light rays which are very close to principal axis are known as paraxial rays and rays far away from principal axis are called marginal rays. What will be the focal length for ray which is incident at an angle 60^(@) ?

STATEMENT-1: Real images cannot be formed by reflection of light in a convex mirror. STATEMENT-2: Parallel rays incident on a convex mirror must diverge after reflection.

Find distance on focal plane where parallel and paraxial rays which are not parallel to optic axis, meet after reflection.

STATEMENT -1 : If reflected or refracted ray diverge from a point, the image will be virtual. and STATEMENT - 2 : After reflection or refraction the refracted or reflected rays appear to meet at a point on principle axis. They do not actually meet at a point.

After reflecton, a light ray which is incident along the principal axis of a mirror,
