Key Points

  • Focal length
    • The focal length of a mirror or lens is the distance between its focal point and its pole, also known as the optical center of the lens.
    • After reflecting in the mirror, a parallel beam of light is "focused" at the focal point (F) of the device.
    • In the case of a convex mirror and lens, the focal length is regarded as positive.
    • It is considered a negative for a concave mirror and lens. The letter f denotes it.

Additional Information

  • Convex mirror
    • A convex mirror is a kind of spherical mirror in which the reflecting surface is part of the sphere that is bulging out toward the incident light source.
    • Convex mirrors always produce virtual, erect, and diminished images regardless of the distance between the object and the mirror.
  • Concave mirror
    • A mirror with its inner surface serving as the reflecting surface is created when a hollow sphere is cut into pieces and its outer surface is painted. A concave mirror is a name given to this kind of mirror.
    • A virtual, magnified image is produced when the concave mirror is placed very close to the object.
