Hey there!
Answer:
Centre of curvature : The centre of sphere of which the mirror form a path is called centre of curvature.
Focus : The point at which, a narrow beam of light incident on the mirror parallel to its principal axis, after reflection from the mirror, meets or appears to come from, is called the focus.
Other terms are ;
Radius of curvature : The distance from pole to centre of curvature is called radius of curvature.
Pole : The centre of spherical mirror is called a pole.
Aperture : The size of mirror is called a aperture.
Focal length : The distance from pole to focus is called focal length.
