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.

- the question which i had asked regarding a ray of light incident perpendicularly from top of an object , is there in the cbse sample qp of 2021 but the answer given there is centre of curvature but the answer given by topperlearning is Focus, can you pls recheck
- what is the correct answer with explanation
- The image formed by a concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. where should be the position of the object?
- Mam what is the paraxial rays?
- if an image formed an a concave mirror is real and enlarged its magnification will be
- explain why a ray of light passing through the centre of curvature of a concave mirror gets reflected along the same path ?
- An object of size 5 cm is placed at a distance of 20cm in front of concave mirror of radius of curvature 30cm. a) Find the position of the image, its nature and size. b) Draw the corresponding ray diagram.
