what is centre of curvature
Answers
Answer:-
Centre Of Curvature:- The centre of the sphere of which the spherical mirror is a part is called the centre of curvature of the mirror.
It is denoted by C.
Some Related Term:-
Principal Axis:- The line joining the pole and the centre of curvature is called the principal axis of the mirror.
Radius Of Curvature :- The radius of the sphere of which the spherical mirror is a part is called the radius of curvature of the mirror.
Pole:- The central point on the surface of the mirror is called its pole.
Aperture:- The circular area determines the amount of light falling on the mirror or lens is its a aperture.
Focus Of Spherical Mirror:- The point on the principal axis where rays incident parallel to principal axis converge or appear to diverge from after reflection is called the focus of the spherical mirror.
Focal Length:- The distance of the focus from the pole is called the focal length of the spherical mirror.
Centre of Curvature (C) : The centre of the sphere of which the mirror is a part, is called the centre of curvature.
