EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING TERMS: 1.center of curvature 2.radius of curvature 3.principle axis pls answer asap
Answers
Answer:
1. centre of curvature is midpoint of the full sphere on the principal axis.
2. radius of curvature is the distance between center of curvature and the polished surface of the mirror.
3. principal axis is the line which connects the centre of curvature to the mirror both sides. basically it's the diameter
Answer:
1.Center of curvature = The point in the center of the sphere from which the mirror was sliced is known as the center of curvature.
2.Radius of curvature = The radius of a circle which touches a curve at a given point and has the same tangent and curvature at that point.
3.Principal axis = A line that passes through the center of curvature of a lens so that light is neither reflected nor refracted.
Explanation:
Hope this answer will help you.
