Lens And Mirror Equation Calculator
Lens And Mirror Equation: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers focal length or radius of curvature and object distance. Stub page. Not published yet.
Lens And Mirror Equation Calculator is a planned calculator in the science section of Super Calculator, covering physics: optics.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: focal length or radius of curvature, object distance, object height, element type and refractive index and surface radii.
Outputs: image distance, magnification, image height, real or virtual, upright or inverted, focal length from the lensmaker equation and ray diagram description.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Thin lens and mirror equation 1/f = 1/do + 1/di, with magnification m = -di/do. Sign conventions: converging lens and concave mirror have positive f; a negative di means a virtual image. The lensmaker equation gives 1/f = (n-1)(1/R1 - 1/R2).
