Image Characteristics
. Multiple Images Formed by
Two Plane Mirrors at 90 degree Angle
The number of images, N, can be determined
using the formula:
The Magnification equation relates the ratio of the image
distance and object distance to the ratio of the image height
(hi) and object height (ho). The magnification equation is
stated as follows:
•f is + if the mirror is a concave mirror
•f is - if the mirror is a convex mirror
•di is + if the image is a real image and located
on the object's side of the mirror.
•di is - if the image is a virtual image and
located behind the mirror.
•hi is + if the image is an upright image (and
therefore, also virtual)
•hi is - if the image an inverted image (and
therefore, also real)
