Solution
Verified by Toppr

(a) Centre of curvature: Centre of curvature of a spherical mirror is the centre of the hollow sphere of a glass of which the mirror is a part.
(b) Radius of curvature: Radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is the radius of the hollow sphere of glass of which the mirror is a part.
(c) Pole: The centre of a spherical mirror is called its pole.
(d) Principal axis: The straight line passing through the centre of curvature and pole of a spherical mirror is called its principal axis.
(e) Aperture: The portion of a mirror from which the reflection of light actually takes place is called Aperture.
