Complete the following diagrams shown in Fig. by drawing the reflected ray for each of the incident ray A and B.

For an incident ray directed towards centre of curvature of a spherical mirror the reflected ray:
Define the term Centre of curvature.
Assertion: Incident ray is directed towards the centre of curvature of spherical mirror. After reflection it retraces its path.
Reason: Angle of incidence (i) = Angle of reflection (r) = 0°

- Principal focus
- Focal length
