The center of curvature in a concave mirror is important because it is the point where the mirror's surface is perfectly curved. Light rays that are parallel to the mirror's principal axis and strike the mirror will either converge or diverge at this point, depending on the mirror's shape. This point helps determine the focal length and image formation in concave mirrors.
What else can I help you with?
What are the parts of concave mirror?
The main parts of a concave mirror are the pole (center point), principal axis (imaginary line passing through the pole and center of curvature), focal point (half the distance between the pole and center of curvature), and the center of curvature (center of the sphere from which the mirror is a section).
A candle is placed between the center of curvature and the focal point of a concave mirror?
The image formed by the concave mirror will be located beyond the center of curvature, inverted, and smaller in size.
When an object is placed at c of a concave mirrorthe image will be formed at?
When an object is placed at the center of curvature (C) of a concave mirror, the image will be formed at the center of curvature (C) on the other side of the mirror. The image produced will be inverted and the same size as the object.
What is the relationship between the radius of curvature and focal length in a concave mirror?
In a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length.
What is the center of curvature of the mirror?
The center of curvature of a mirror is the point located at a distance equal to the radius of curvature from the mirror's vertex. It is the center of the sphere of which the mirror forms a part. Light rays that are reflected from the mirror and pass through this point are either parallel to the principal axis (for concave mirrors) or appear to diverge from this point (for convex mirrors).
What are the parts of concave mirror?
The main parts of a concave mirror are the pole (center point), principal axis (imaginary line passing through the pole and center of curvature), focal point (half the distance between the pole and center of curvature), and the center of curvature (center of the sphere from which the mirror is a section).

The image formed by the concave mirror will be located beyond the center of curvature, inverted, and smaller in size.
The focal point of a concave mirror is 5 cm what is its center of curvature?
10 cm from the mirror.
What is the relation between focal length and center of curvature?
The focal length of a concave mirror is about equal to half of its radius of curvature.
When an object is placed at c of a concave mirrorthe image will be formed at?
When an object is placed at the center of curvature (C) of a concave mirror, the image will be formed at the center of curvature (C) on the other side of the mirror. The image produced will be inverted and the same size as the object.
What are the characteristics of a concave mirror?
A concave mirror is a converging mirror used in microscopes and telescopes. Characteristics include forming real and inverted and diminished images when an object is placed beyond the center of curvature or real, inverted and enlarged image when the object is placed between the center of curvature and focus.
What is the relationship between the radius of curvature and focal length in a concave mirror?
In a concave mirror, the radius of curvature is twice the focal length.
What is the center of curvature of the mirror?
The center of curvature of a mirror is the point located at a distance equal to the radius of curvature from the mirror's vertex. It is the center of the sphere of which the mirror forms a part. Light rays that are reflected from the mirror and pass through this point are either parallel to the principal axis (for concave mirrors) or appear to diverge from this point (for convex mirrors).
What kind of image is formed by an object placed beyond the center of curvature on the principal axis of a concave mirror?
An inverted and real image is formed by an object placed beyond the center of curvature on the principal axis of a concave mirror. The size of the image will be smaller than the object.
What is the center of curvature of a mirror?
A plane mirror is not curved so it does not have a center of curvature. Or if you want to be mathematically correct, you could say that it's center of curvature is at an infinite distance from the mirror.
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
What factor influences the image produced by reflection of an object in a concave mirror?
Distance from the mirror, curvature of the mirror.
