The centre of curvature, C is the centre of the circle of which the surface of the mirror is a part.
The radius of curvature, r is the distance along the principal axis between the centre of the mirror, O and the centre of curvature and equal to TWICE the focal length, f of the mirror.

Refraction occurs when a wave changes speed as it passes from one region to another.
This speed change usually causes the wave to change direction.
Water waves slow down as they pass over from a deeper to a shallower region.
Light slows down as it passes from air into glass, perspex or water.

No deviation occurs when the angle of incidence is zero.
Increasing the angle of incidence increases the deviation.

Dispersion A prism splits the colours of white light into the spectrum.
This is called dispersion.
Violet light deviates the most,
red the least.

The Camera
The camera uses a converging lens to produce an image on a light detecting surface such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) chip or photographic film.
In most cases the subject (object) is well more than twice the focal length of the lens away from the camera.
The image produced is therefore:
diminished, inverted and real.

Structure of a simple camera
Focussing is achieved by moving the lens away from or towards the light detector. The further the subject is away from the camera the closer the lens is moved towards the CCD / film.
The amount of light reaching the light detector is controlled by adjusting the size of the ‘stop’ aperture and the length of time that the shutter opens.
