To explain:
Centre of curvature and principal axis of spherical mirrors.
Explaination:
Centre of curvature is the centre point of the sphere from which the spherical mirror has been obtained.
- The distance of the mirror from the centre of curvature will be known as the radius of curvature.
- Any light ray passing through the centre of curvature is incident normally (at 90°) on the spherical mirror.
Principle axis:
- It is an imaginary line passing through the pole, principal focus and the centre of curvature of a spherical mirror.
Refer to the diagram to understand more. [Point "C" is the centre of curvature of the spherical mirror]
Hope It Helps.
