Images in Mirrors and Lenses (HSC SSCE Physics): Flashcards

$\theta_i = \theta_r$

Rays appear to diverge; cannot be projected on a screen

Rays actually converge; can be projected on a screen

Smooth, polished surface like plane mirror or still water

$M = \frac{h_i}{h_o}$

$\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f}$

Thicker at centre, thinner at edges

Always virtual, upright, and diminished

Image forms in front of retina

Point where parallel rays converge after refraction
