Question

the centre of the sphere from which the convex mirror is made is called its pole.say true or false​

Answer 1

The statement is false.

But why?

• Correct statement should be : The centre of the sphere from which the convex mirror is made is called its centre of curvature.

• Pole is a point on the spherical mirror through which the principal axis pàsses after going through focus and centre of curvature.

Additional info:

• Distance from pole to centre of curvature is RADIUS OF CURVATURE.

• Distance from pole to focus is called FOCAL LENGTH.

• Any ray falling on the pole follows the rules of reflection and undergoes reflection.
