Question
Assertion : The formula connecting $u,\,v$ and $f$ for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature.

Reason : Laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces, but not for large spherical surface.

Answer

Assertion is correct. Laws of reflection can  be applied to any type of surface.
