Question

If pole is the geometrical center of the mirror then why does it not change when the mirror is cut?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Pole is not the geometric centre of the mirror.

‘The point on the mirror's surface where the principal axis meets the mirror is known as the pole’

Principle axis is not a fixed axis for a mirror either. It can be any normal to the surface taken according to our convenience such that the sign conventions become easier to follow. We place the object with reference to this axis and the sign conventions are framed around them. One can choose any another point on the surface and call it a pole and take normal at that point as the axis if that makes your calculation convenient.

the pole isn't the geometrical center it is the point in the mirror
