उत्तर
Pole: The geometric centre of the spherical surface of mirror is called the pole of mirror.
Principal axis: It is the straight line joining the pole of the mirror to its centre of curvature.
Centre of curvature: The centre of curvature of a mirror is the centre of the sphere of which the mirror is a part.
