2. Spherical Mirrors

Focal length of spherical mirror: f = R/2

Mirror equation: 1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Magnification (mirror): m = h'/h = -v/u

4. Refraction, Snell's Law, Apparent Depth

Snell's law: sin i / sin r = n21

n12 = 1 / n21

n32 = n31 × n12

Apparent depth = real depth / refractive index

Refraction at spherical surface: n2/v - n1/u = (n2 - n1)/R
