Light – Reflection and Refraction — Key Formulas

FormulaExpression
Law of reflectionAngle of incidence = angle of reflection (∠i = ∠r)
Mirror formula1/f = 1/v + 1/u; f = R/2 (R = radius of curvature)
Magnification (mirror)m = h'/h = -v/u (- means inverted)
Snell's lawn₁sin(θ₁) = n₂sin(θ₂); n = c/v
Lens formula1/f = 1/v + 1/u (same as mirror)
Lens powerP = 1/f (diopters, D); convex +, concave -
Critical angle & TIRsin(θc) = n₂/n₁; total internal reflection if θ > θc
