Mirror Formula
Mirror Formula
The Mirror Equation:
A relationship between the distance of the object from the pole (u), distance of the image from the pole (v) and the focal length (f) of the mirror is called the mirror formula.
Relation Between u, v, f:
For any spherical mirror of small aperture, and for any position of the object, the three quantities u, v and f satisfy the simple algebraic relation given below.
| Mirror Equation |
Remember that u, v, f can be positive or negative depending on the geometry of the situation.
Illustration: An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 20 cm. Where will the image be formed?
Solution:It is given that we have a concave mirror, so the focal length will be negative.
The distance of the object is always negative.
We have, u = -30 cm and f = -20 cm.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
