Lens / Mirror
Thin-lens equation, magnification, real / virtual
About this tool
Thin lens / spherical mirror equation: 1/f = 1/d_o + 1/d_i. Real distances are positive (object on incoming side, real image on outgoing side).
Output
- Image distance d_i and magnification m = −d_i / d_o.
- Real or virtual? Erect or inverted? Enlarged or reduced?
- Image height h_i = m · h_o.
- Mirror radius R = 2f. Optical power 1/f (dioptres if f in m).
