Master the mirror equation-get formulas, stepwise derivation, and problem-solving tips with Vedantu’s expert guidance. By using this mirror formula , we can find out the position and nature of the images formed by concave mirrors and convex mirrors . Before we do that, we will discuss the ‘magnification’ produced by spherical mirrors . What is Mirror Formula ? The Mirror Formula (also referred to as the mirror equation) gives us the relationship between the focal length (f), the distance of the object from the mirror (u) and the distance of the image from the mirror (v). The mirror formula for a concave mirror is given below. Learn how to use the mirror formula to find the image distance and focal length of concave and convex mirrors.
