Optics Calculator
Analyze light behavior through lenses, mirrors, and refraction using fundamental optics principles. Calculate image formation, magnification, and light bending with support for both SI and imperial units along with visual ray diagrams.
Formulas Used
- Lens/Mirror Formula: 1/f = 1/dₒ + 1/dᵢ
- Magnification: m = -dᵢ / dₒ
- Image Height: hᵢ = m × hₒ
- Snell’s Law: n₁ sin(θ₁) = n₂ sin(θ₂)
- Critical Angle: θc = sin⁻¹(n₂ / n₁)
