Question:medium

If \(x\) and \(y\) be the distances of the object and images formed by a concave mirror from its focus and \(f\) be the focal length then:

Show Hint

Newton's Formula \(xy = f^2\) is valid for both concave and convex mirrors, provided that the distances \(x\) (object distance) and \(y\) (image distance) are strictly measured from the principal focus, not the pole.

  • \(xf = y^2\)
  • \(xy = f^2\)
  • \(\frac{x}{y} = f\)
  • \(\frac{x}{y} = f^2\)
