CONCAVE MIRROR

Centre of curvature (C) is the centre of hollow sphere of which the mirror is a part. (Front of the
mirror)

Pole (P) Cente of surface of concave mirror

Radius of curvature (R) is the radius of the sphere

Principal Axis The straight line passing through the centre of curvature and the pole

Aperture(M) The por�on of the mirror where the reflec�on of light takes place

Focus (F) Beam of light parallel to the principal axis is incident on the concave mirror a�er reflec�on,
the rays meet at a point on the principal axis. It is exactly in the centre of P and C
Focal length (f) is the distance between the pole and the focus

F= R

CONVEX MIRROR

Centre of curvature (C) is the centre of hollow sphere of which the mirror is a part. (Behind the
mirror)

Pole (P) Cente of surface of convex mirror

Radius of curvature (R) is the radius of the sphere

Principal Axis The straight line passing through the centre of curvature and the pole

Aperture(M) The por�on of the mirror where the reflec�on of light takes place

Focus (F) Beam of light parallel to the principal axis is incident on the convex mirror a�er reflec�on,
the rays appear to diverge from a point on the principal axis. It has a virtual focus since it lies behind
the mirror. It is exactly in the centre of P and C

Focal length (f) is the distance between the pole and the focus

F= R
