What is reflection in light?

Bouncing back from shiny surfaces

What are the properties of a plane mirror?

Virtual, erect images, equal size

Spherical mirrors with different curvatures

c/v, inversely proportional to light speed

Light travels straight at a speed of 3 * 10^8 meters per second, with reflection involving bouncing off shiny surfaces following two laws. Plane mirrors create virtual, erect images with equal size and distance from the mirror.
Spherical mirrors (concave and convex) are discussed in detail, focusing on poles, principal axis, center of curvature, focus, and focal length. Ray diagrams illustrate image formation based on object positions, with concave mirrors producing real and inverted images and convex mirrors creating virtual and erect images.

Left side is negative, right side is positive for objects in relation to a mirror or lens.
Objects above a line are positive, below are negative.
Sign convention rules apply to mirrors and lenses.
Object distance (u) is always negative.
Focal length of a concave mirror is negative, convex mirror is positive.
Mirror formula: 1/v + 1/u = 1/f.
Magnification formula: m = -v/u.
Questions involve finding v using mirror formula and determining image nature through magnification.
Refraction involves bending of light when passing between mediums.
Refractive index formula: c/v, inversely proportional to speed of light.

Object is at 2f 1, i.e. third. If it is on number then where will our image be made? 2 will be made on f1.
Whenever the object is between these two, where will the image be made? Beyond will be made, it will be made behind.
If the object is on the top, where will the image be made? It will be made far behind, on the fifth number.
If the object is in the center of focus, where will the image be formed? It will be formed behind, virtually.
Concave lens has two cases: parallel light rays will meet at the focus, and other positions will form images between the optical center and focus.
