Shortcut Methods

1 : Focal Length Shortcut
  • For a concave mirror, if the object is placed at twice the focal length ((2f)), the image will be formed at (2f) as well.
  • For a convex mirror, if the object is placed at any distance, the image will always be virtual, erect, and smaller in size.
  • These shortcuts simplify calculations when the object is placed at specific positions.
