CAN U PLEASE GIVE A GOOD, 1 MARK DEFINITION FOR THE CENTRE OF CURVATURE AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CENTRE OF CURVATURE AND POLE.

Expert Answer:
Center of curvature of a spherical mirror is the centre of the hollow sphere of glass of which the mirror is a part. The centre of curvature of a mirror is represented by C.
On the other hand Pole is the centre of a spherical mirror. i.e the middle point of a spherical mirror is called its pole. Pole of a spherical mirror lies on the surface of the mirror and is represented by P.The figure below will help you to understand the difference between them more clearly.
