SUMMARY
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is directly related to its focal length. For a concave mirror with a focal length of 10 cm, the radius of curvature is calculated by multiplying the focal length by 2. Therefore, the radius of curvature is 20 cm. This relationship is fundamental in optics and is essential for understanding mirror properties.
