Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The mirror formula is the relation which represents the relationship between object distance, image distance and focal length of a spherical mirror. And is given by

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

Where

f = focal length

of mirror given by

= > f = \frac{R}{2}

And

R

is the radius of curvature of the spherical mirror

u = distance

of the object from the mirror

v = distance

of the image from the mirror
