What is the Mirror Equation Calculator?

The Mirror Equation Calculator allows you to calculate the image distance and magnification for a mirror using the mirror formula 1f=1u+1v\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}f1​=u1​+v1​. By entering the focal length and object distance, the calculator determines where the image will form and its magnification. This tool helps students, optics enthusiasts, and engineers quickly analyze mirror systems without manual computation.

How to Use:

1. Enter Focal Length (f): Input the focal length of the mirror in centimeters.
2. Enter Object Distance (u): Input the distance from the object to the mirror in centimeters.
3. Click “Calculate”: The calculator computes the image distance (v) and magnification.
4. Review the Result: Use these values to analyze image formation, solve optics problems, or design mirror-based systems.
