Mirror formula | Class 10 science | Concave mirror | Convex mirror | Physics Spherical Mirror :A mirror which is a part of a sphere is called spherical mirror. Kinds of spherical mirror :Spherical mirrors are of two types. These are (a) Concave mirror or Converging mirror (b) Convex mirror or Diverging mirror Convex mirror : Convex mirrors or diverging mirrors are those mirrors in which the reflecting surface is curved outwards. Concave mirrors : Concave mirrors or converging mirrors are those mirrors in which the reflecting surface is curved inwards. Some terms related to spherical mirrors: Centre of curvature (a)The centre of curvature (C) of a spherical mirror is the centre of the hollow sphere of glass whose part is spherical mirror. (b) It is generally denoted by 'C' . Radius of Curvature ● The radius of curvature (R) of a spherical mirror is the radius of the hollow sphere of glass, of which the spherical mirror is apart. Pole of spherical mirror ● The pole (P) of a sphe...
