Як розрахувати Mirror Equation
Що таке Mirror Equation?
Mirror equation relates object distance, image distance, and mirror radius of curvature. It applies to both concave and convex mirrors, predicting image formation.
Формула
The calculator applies 1/f = 1/s_o + 1/s_i where f = R/2
- R
- R value — Variable used in the calculation
- f
- 1/s_o + 1/s_i where f = R/2 — 1/s_o + 1/s_i where f = R/2

Введення
s_o = 20 cm, R = 30 cm
Результат
s_i = 60 cm, magnification = 3×
Real inverted magnified image
Поширені помилки
- ✕Using the wrong sign conventions for concave vs. convex mirrors
- ✕Assuming magnification directly relates to focal length
Часті запитання
Why is focal length half the radius of curvature?
For a spherical mirror, the focal point is at the geometric center, halfway between vertex and center of curvature.
What images do convex mirrors form?
Convex mirrors always form virtual, upright, diminished images. This is why they're used for wide-angle car mirrors.
