उत्तर
Pole: “The geometric centre of a spherical mirror is called POLE.”
Concave mirror Convex mirror
“The midpoint of aperture AB of the mirror is called pole.” P is pole of mirror.Centre of curvature: “The centre of a hollow sphere of which the mirror forms a part.” It is represented by the symbol ‘ C ‘
Concave mirror Convex mirror
Radius of curvature: “The radius of a hollow sphere of which the mirror is a part”. It is represented by ‘R’
Concave mirror Convex mirror
Principal axis: “Is a straight line joining the pole of the mirror to its centre of curvature and extended further.”
