Formula for curved mirrors
1=1 1
f u v
m = (v/u) m = linear magnification
u = object distance from the mirror
v = image distance from the mirror

m = hi hi = height of the image
ho ho = height of the object
Refraction at spherical surface of transparent material
n1 n2 = n2 n1
u u r
where n2 n1 is a positive value
Thin Lenses
Nature of the image formed by thin convex lens:
(a) Object distance longer than 2f
- inverted
- real
- diminished
- on the opposite side of the lens
(b) Object distance = 2f
- inverted
- real
- same size as the object
- on the opposite side of the lens
(c) Object distance between f and 2f
- inverted
- real
- magnified
- on the opposite side of the lens
(d) Object distance = f
- at infinity
(e) Object distance less than f

- upright
- virtual
- magnified
- on the same side of the lens as the object
Nature of the image formed by thin concave lens:
- upright
- virtual
- diminished
- on the same side of the lens as the object
