Best Answer

Mirror reflect the light that enters into it. The plane surface area of the mirror through which the light rays enter is called aperture.

If we place some opaque object with hole in its center , in-front of the mirror now light can enter only through this hole. Now the aperture of the mirror is reduced.

What is the center of spherical mirror?

The geometric centre of a spherical mirror is called its pole. The centre of the hollow sphere for which the mirror is a part, is called the centre of curvature. The line joining the centre of curvature and the pole is the principal axis. A light ray incident on a spherical mirror, after reflection appears to pass through the principal focus in the case of a convex mirror and passes through the focus in the case of concave mirror. The diameter of the spherical mirror gives the measure of its aperture


How is reducing the aperture of an inexpensive camera reduce the amount of spherical aberration?

Bananas make the spherical aberration very elongated and yellow, therefore causing the aperture to reduce and the spherical aberration to completely stop.
