Spherical mirrors are the mirrors having curved surfaces which are painted on one of their sides. Spherical mirrors in which inward surfaces are painted are known as convex mirrors while the spherical mirrors in which outward surfaces are painted are known as concave mirrors. Concave mirrors are also known as converging mirrors since the rays converge after falling on the concave mirror while the convex mirrors are known as diverging mirrors as the rays diverge after falling on the convex mirror. Let’s learn about formula and magnification produced by spherical mirrors.
Spherical Mirrors
Mirror Formula:
Mirror formula explains how object distance (u) and image distance (v) are related to the focal length of a spherical mirror. Object distance is the distance of the object from the pole of the mirror; denoted by the letter u. Image distance is the distance of the image from the pole of the mirror and it is denoted by the letter v. And focal length is the distance of the principal focus from the pole of the mirror. The expression which gives the relation between these three quantities is called the mirror formula which is given as:
1v+1u=1f
Mirror formula is applicable for all spherical mirrors for every position of the object.
