Answer:
The point where the principal axis pierces the mirror is called the pole of the mirror
Centre of curvature of a spherical mirror is the centre of the hollow sphere of glass of which the mirror is a part
a line passing through a centre of the surface of a spherical mirror or lens and through the cwntre of the curvature of all segments of the mirror is call principle axis
The principal focus is defined as the point where a beam parallel to the principal axis appears to diverge converges from a point on the principal axis after passing through the lens.
