Reflection and refraction at a plane surface
Image formation
Reflection and refraction at a plane surfacei (or s’) is the image distances is the object distance:
|s| =|i|Image formation
Sign Rules:(1) Sign rule for the object distance:
When object is on the same side of the reflectingor refracting surface as the incoming light, the objectdistance s is positive. Otherwise it is negative.
(2) Sign rule for the image distance:When image is on the same side of the reflecting orrefracting surface as the outgoing light, the imagedistance i ( or s’) is positive. Otherwise it is negative.
(3) Sign rule for the radius of curvature of a sphericalsurface:When the center of curvature C is on the same sideas the outgoing light, the radius of the curvature ispositive. Otherwise it is negative.

Focal point or focus: Point F at which rays from a source point arebrought together (focused) to form an image.
Focal length: Distance f from mirror where focus occurs.f=R/2 where R is the radius of a spherical mirror.

Convex LensSign rules for convex and concave lens:
Sign Rules:(1) Sign rule for the object distance:
When object is on the same side of the reflectingor refracting surface as the incoming light, the objectdistance s is positive. Otherwise it is negative.
(2) Sign rule for the image distance:When image is on the same side of the reflecting orrefracting surface as the outgoing light, the imagedistance i (or s’) is positive (real image). Otherwise it is negative(virtual image).
(3) Sign rule for the radius of curvature of a sphericalsurface:When the center of curvature C is on the same sideas the outgoing light, the radius of the curvature ispositive. Otherwise it is negative.
