## Answers ( )

As in explanation.

Explanation:

A) Centre of Curvature: This is defined as the point in the center of the sphere from which the mirror was sliced. It is represented by the letter “C”

B) Vertex: It is defined as the point on the mirror’s surface where the principal axis meets the mirror. It is represented by the letter A.

C) Focal Point: This is defined as the Midway point between the vertex and the center of curvature. It is represented by the letter “F”

D) Radius of Curvature: This is defined as the distance from the vertex to the center of curvature. It is represented by the letter “R”

E) Focal Length: This is defined as the distance from the mirror to the focal point. It’s represented by the letter “f”
