Question
The mirror formula relating object distance (u), image distance (v), and focal length (f) of a spherical mirror is
1/v + 1/u = 1/f
1/v - 1/u = 1/f
v + u = f
v/u = f
Answer
1/v + 1/u = 1/f
Detailed Explanation
The chapter gives the mirror formula as 1/v + 1/u = 1/f, valid for all spherical mirrors in all situations.
