The focal length of a concave mirror is 15 cm. The radius of curvature is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The focal length of a concave mirror is 15 cm. The radius of curvature is
A. 15 cm
B. 30 cm
C. 45 cm
D. 7.5 cm
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
For spherical mirrors, R = 2f. So R = 2 × 15 = 30 cm. Sign convention: for concave mirror, f and R are negative by Cartesian convention, but magnitude 30 cm. So 30 cm is correct.

Question #3
Which of the following statements is perfectly true regarding uniform circular motion?
A. Both speed and velocity change continuously.
B. Both speed and velocity are constant.
C. Speed is constant but velocity changes continuously.
D. Velocity is constant but speed changes.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, the magnitude of velocity (speed) remains constant. However, the direction of motion is continuously changing tangentially at every point on the circular path. Since velocity is a vector quantity (requiring both magnitude and direction), a change in direction means the velocity is changing continuously, resulting in an accelerated motion.
