Mirror Equation Thin lens formula

Snell’s Law,

u - Objective distance, v - Image distance


f - focal length of the mirror.
● f is half the radius of curvature R.
● f is negative for conceive mirror.
● f is positive for a convex mirror

Lens maker’s formula

Where, f is positive for a converging


lens; f is negative for a diverging lens.

The power of a lens


If several thin lenses of focal length f1, f2, f3, … are in contact,
the effective focal length of their combination, is given by

Magnifying power m of a simple microscope is

Where D = 25 cam is the least distance of distinct vision

For a compound microscope, the magnifying power


m = me × mo,
Where

Is the magnification due to the eyepiece

m0 is the magnification produced by the objective.
