Law of reflection formula

θi=θr\theta_i = \theta_r

Virtual image definition

Rays appear to diverge; cannot be projected on a screen

Real image definition

Rays actually converge; can be projected on a screen

Specular reflection surface type

Smooth, polished surface like plane mirror or still water

Magnification formula using image and object heights

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

Thin lens equation

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

Converging (convex) lens shape

Thicker at centre, thinner at edges

Diverging lens image characteristics

Always virtual, upright, and diminished

Myopia (short-sightedness) image position

Image forms in front of retina

Focal point (F) of converging lens

Point where parallel rays converge after refraction
