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.
