Mirrors and Lenses Quiz

Study Notes

Mirrors

Types of Mirrors:
- Plane Mirrors: flat mirrors that produce a virtual image of the same size as the object
- Spherical Mirrors: curved mirrors that can produce real or virtual images, depending on the object's position
- Concave Mirrors: curved inward, can produce real or virtual images
- Convex Mirrors: curved outward, always produce virtual images
Mirror Equation:
- 1/f = 1/do + 1/di (where f is the focal length, do is the object distance, and di is the image distance)
Mirror Formula:
- Magnification = -di/do (where di is the image distance and do is the object distance)

Lenses

Types of Lenses:
- Convex Lenses: thicker in the middle, converge light rays, and produce real images
- Concave Lenses: thinner in the middle, diverge light rays, and produce virtual images
- Plano-Convex Lenses: one flat surface and one curved surface
- Plano-Concave Lenses: one flat surface and one curved surface
Lensmaker's Equation:
- 1/f = (n-1)(1/R1 - 1/R2) (where f is the focal length, n is the refractive index, and R1 and R2 are the radii of curvature)
Lens Formula:
- 1/f = 1/do + 1/di (where f is the focal length, do is the object distance, and di is the image distance)
Magnification:
- Magnification = -di/do (where di is the image distance and do is the object distance)
Image Formation:
- Real images are formed on the same side of the lens as the object
- Virtual images are formed on the opposite side of the lens as the object
