A mirror formula may be defined as the formula which gives the relationship between the distance of image v, distance of object u, and the focal length of a mirror. It may be written as,
1/f = 1/u + 1/v where, v = Distance of image from pole of mirror u = Distance of object from pole of mirror f = Focal length of the mirror The mirror formula is applicable both in spherical mirrors (concave mirrors and convex mirrors) and in plane mirrors.
