1. Formula for Focal length

1.1. Mirror Formula

1.1.1. 1/f = 1/v + 1/u

1.2. Lens Formula

1.2.1. 1/f = 1/v - 1/u

2. Power of lens

2.2. P= 1/f

3. Magnification

3.1. Mirror

3.1.1. m= -v/u

3.1.2. m= height of image/ height of object

3.2. lense

3.2.1. m = v / u

3.2.2. m = height of image / height of object

4. Laws of refraction of light

4.1. The incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane for the two given transparent medium.

4.2. The ratio of the sin of angle of incidence to the sin of angle of reflection is always constant.

5. Laws of reflection of light

5.1. The incident ray,the normal to the surface at the point of incidence and the reflected ray, all lie in the same plane.

5.2. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

6. Refractive index

6.1. n = Velocity of light in medium 1 / Velocity of light in medium 2
