Formula for Spherical Mirrors

Spherical mirrors have an uniform curve and constant radius of curvature, they provide a virtual or actual picture. It is divided into two varieties based on the surface painting of the spherical mirror: Concave Mirror: Concave mirrors are created when the outer surface of a spherical mirror is painted. Convex Mirror: Convex mirrors are created […]

Focal length of a Convex lens

The focal length of an optical system is the inverse of the system’s optical power; it measures how strongly the system converges or diverges light. A system with a positive focal length converges light, while one with a negative focal length diverges light. A system with a shorter focal length bends the rays more sharply,

Focal Length of a Concave Mirror

There are two types of spherical mirrors—concave and convex. Concave mirrors have an inwardly curved reflecting surface. Concave mirrors are also known as converging mirrors because they collect or converge the rays of light parallel to the principal axis that falls on them to a single focal point. Concave mirrors concentrate light rays and can
