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
What is the difference between Radius of curvature and centre of curvature?
the center of curvature is the ORIGIN of the radius of curvature
How does a focal length change as a convex lens becomes flatter?
d focal lenght increases due to increases in the distance between centre of curvature and the centre of the convex lens on the principal axis
Examples of concave and convex mirrors?
Convex means rounded or curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere. Also called as fish eye or diverging mirror. The mirror coating of the concave mirror is on the outside of the spherical surface. In concave mirrors, the center of curvature and the reflecting surface fall on the same side of the mirror.
What is the center of curvature of the mirror?
the centre of sphere is known as centre of curvature

What is the center of curvature of the mirror?
the centre of sphere is known as centre of curvature
What is definition of centre of curvature of lens?
define the term centre of curvature
What is mean by centre of curvature?
This means the vented of a circle. It is the radius of the circle that is perpendicular to a line tangent to any point on the concave side of a smooth curve.
What is the difference of a concave mirror to a convex?
Concave mirror* its reflecting surface is curved inwards*it can form both real and virtual images*the centre of curvature and the focus lies in front of the mirror*it can form both enlarged and diminished imagesConvex mirror* its reflecting surface is curved outwards*it can form only virtual images*the centre of curvature and the focus lies behind the mirror*it can form only diminished images
What are spherical mirrors?
The most curved mirrors are spherical mirrors. The centre of curved surface is called center of curvature. There are two kinds of spherical mirrors. Concave and convex mirror.
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.
Differentiate convex lens from concave lens?
A convex lens is thicker in the centre than the outsides. A concave lens is thinner in the centre than the outsides.
