State the relation between object distance, image distance and focal length of a spherical mirror.

The relation between object distance, image distance and focal length of a spherical mirror is given by a formula called MIRROR FORMULA. It can be written as:




Where,


v is the distance of image from the mirror


u is the distance of object from the mirror


f is the focal length of the mirror


Mirror formula can be applied to all type of mirrors.
