In the diagram, M is a concave mirror and A is a point on its principal axis. If an object O is kept at A, the image is formed at A itself. B is the center of AP. What is the point B called?

Solution
Object and image position coincide in the concave mirror only if the object is placed at the center of curvature.
So, PA is radius of curvature. Since radius of curvature is twice the focal length, B is the focus.
