A section of a sphere has a radius of curvature of 0.72 m. If this section is painted with a reflective coating on both sides, what is the focal length of:

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value is  [tex]f = 0.36 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The radius of curvature is  [tex]R = 0.72 \ m[/tex]

   

Generally the radius of curvature is mathematically represented as

        [tex]R = 2f[/tex]

Here [tex]f[/tex] is the focal length hence

       [tex]f = \frac{R}{2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]f = \frac{0.72}{2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]f = 0.36 \ m[/tex]
