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:

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.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
