Homework Statement

Would it be possible for someone to breakdown the different type of lenses and mirrors and their properties like distance of object, distance of image, magnification, type of image (real/virtual, upright/inverted, magnified/reduced), and maybe like a diagram of some sort for the types of images produced at different distances from the mirror or lens (like form the focal point or radius of curvature). I think it would really help. I am just having trouble drawing out the images and diagrams.

Relevant Equations

Thin Lens Equation
Magnification Equation

Here is what I have:

You might try some online simulations, such as this one.

Or, this one for mirrors and this one for lenses.

One thing that helps is to realize that concave mirrors act the same as convex lenses; the difference being that the images are on opposite sides of them.

Same holds for convex mirrors and concave lenses.

Thank you this really helps.
