The image height is thus the same as the object height, the image is upright, and the object distance d o is the same as the image distance d i . (credit: modification of work by Kevin Dufendach) This means that the distance PB from the object to the mirror is the same as the distance BQ from the mirror to the image.

      The intermediate image P' is a real image for L 1 obtained as the intersection of rays 2 and 3 passing through the object and image focal points F 1o and F 1i of lens L 1 .

P' is now a virtual object point for lens L 2 . To find its image by L 2 , draw ray 4 from P' through the centre of lens L 2 back to S (this ray is refracted by lens L 1 but not by L 2 ) and draw ray 3 as refracted by lens L 2 . Since ray 3 is parallel to the optical axis between the lenses, it passes through the back focal …

      Light rays entering a converging lens parallel to its axis cross one another at a single point on the opposite side. For a converging lens, the focal point is the point at which converging light rays ...Light rays entering a converging lens parallel to its axis cross one another at a single point on the opposite side. For a converging lens, the focal point is the point at which converging light rays cross; for a diverging lens, the focal point is the point from which diverging light rays appear to originate. The distance from the center of the lens to its focal point is called the focal length f. Power P of a lens is defined to be the inverse of its focal length, P=1f.

A plane mirror always forms a virtual image (behind the mirror). The image and object are the same distance from a flat mirror, the image size is the same as the object size, and the image is upright.

The image height is thus the same as the object height, the image is upright, and the object distance d o is the same as the image distance d i . (credit: modification of work by Kevin Dufendach) For a plane mirror, we showed that the image formed has the same height and orientation as the object, and it is located at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
