Answered by Aʙʜɪɪ69

Explanation:

spherical mirror is rotationally symmetrical around its principal axis. ... The area of a convex mirror that is exposed to incident light is called the aperture. If the aperture of a convex mirror is small, then its focal length is equal to half its radius of curvature.

Answered by Tans24

Answer:

Pole: The centre of reflecting surface. It is represented by letter P.

Centre of Curvature: The centre of the sphere of which the mirror forms the part. Represented by “C”.

Radius of Curvature: The radius of the sphere of which the mirror forms the part. Represented by “R”.

Principal axis: The straight line joining the pole (P) and the centre of curvature. It is normal to the mirror at its pole.

Aperture: The diameter of the spherical mirror is called its aperture. The reflecting surface of the mirror.

Focus: The point of the principal axis at which the rays parallel to principal axis meet (concave mirror) or appear to meet (convex mirror) after reflection. Represented by F.

Focal Length: The distance between the pole and the principal focus of a spherical mirror is called focal length.
