What is the center of curvature of the mirror?
the centre of sphere is known as centre of curvature
What is the difference between Radius of curvature and centre of curvature?
the center of curvature is the ORIGIN of the radius of curvature
Why is the ray passing through centre of curvature reflects along the same path?
Because a ray that passes through the center of curvature falls perpendicular to the surface (along a normal to the surface), hence it is reflected along the same path.
Where will the image form when you place an object on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between focus and centre of curvature?
If the object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between the focus and centre of curvature the image will form beyond the centre of curvature
Which direction does the centripetal acceleration point?
Centripetal acceleration is acceleration towards the center of the movement.
What is definition of centre of curvature of lens?
define the term centre of curvature

What is the ratio of focal length of a spherical mirror to its radius curvature?
The focal point of a convex mirror lies on the same side as the centre of curvature and is at a distance of half the radius of curvature from the optical centre.
Which direction does the centripetal acceleration point?
Centripetal acceleration is acceleration towards the center of the movement.
Is the radius In math?
It is the distance, from any point on a curve, to the centre of curvature at that point.
A line joining pole and centre of curvature of the mirror is called?
PRINCIPAL AXIS
What way does centripetal force point?
Radially, away from the centre of curvature at the point.
What is definition for the centre of curvature of a spherical mirror?
It is the center of the imaginary sphere to which the mirror belongs.
What is mathimatical radious?
In mathematics, the radius of an arc is a straight line from the centre of curvature of the arc to the arc. In the case of a circle it is the line from the circle's centre to its circumference.
