Question Image

A concave mirror is seen in the image above. The concave mirror's pole, primary focus, and curvature centre are designated by the letters P, F, and C, respectively.
The main axis is a line that runs through the geometric centre of the mirror's reflecting surface. Additionally, it goes through the mirror's curve's centre. The major axis in this case is the line on which the points P, F, and C are indicated. The subject of the desired picture may be positioned anywhere along the main axis.

The centre of the reflecting surface is represented by point P in the previous illustration. It so stands in for the mirror's pole. The geometric centre of the reflecting surface is represented by a mirror's pole. It is located on the main axis.
