what is lateral displacement... and what is the mirror forumula and maganification formula
Answers
Answer:
Lateral displacement :The perpendicular distance between the incident ray and the emergent ray is defined as lateral shift.
Mirror formula :1f=1v+1u
magnification formula : -uv
where,
f : focal length
u: distance of object from the mirror
v : distance of the image from the mirror
Explanation:
Lateral displacement: The perpendicular distance between the incident ray and the emergent ray is defined as lateral shift. This shift depends upon the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction and the thickness of the medium.
The level of magnification is proportional to the ratio of v and u. An image that appears to be double the size of the actual object would have magnification m=2. The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length.
