Question

The distance between the center of curvature and the pole of a spherical mirror is called its ____.

  1. Center of curvature
  2. Radius of curvature
  3. Focal length
  4. Aperture

hintHint:

Radius of curvature

The correct answer is: Radius of curvature


    pole is a point on the spherical mirror. Centre of curvature is the center of the sphere of which the mirror forms a part. Hence, the distance between them is the radius of curvature.
