Focal Length of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image Calculator

Calculate Focal Length of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image





Formula

The formula to calculate the Focal Length of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image is:

\[ f_{\text{concave, virtual}} = \frac{v_{\text{concave, virtual}} \cdot u_{\text{concave, virtual}}}{u_{\text{concave, virtual}} - v_{\text{concave, virtual}}} \]

Where:

Definition

Focal Length of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image is the distance between the mirror's vertex and the focal point when the image formed is virtual and upright.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ f_{\text{concave, virtual}} = \frac{(-0.2) \cdot 1.3}{1.3 - (-0.2)} \]

Evaluating:

\[ f_{\text{concave, virtual}} = -0.173333333333333 \text{ m} \]

The Focal Length of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image is -0.173333333333333 m.
