    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    Wow .my teacher couldn't make me understand this in 150 minutes.And u did it in about 14 minutes.Thnx a lot.I would be glad now if this derivation comes in the exam.

    It's so satisfying that he uses that tool to draw straight lines.

    This is a neat approach instead of proving the mirror equation with Euclid's exterior angle theorem and small angle approximations.

    At 8:57, this doesn't make a complete triangle and there is little uncertainty i.e image height near the tangent is slightly longer than the actual image height.
    Then, won't the mirror equation give approximate answers rather than actual values?

      Yes the equation itself is an approximation

    In indian textbooks the direction convention is just opposite . We consider object distance negative

      😂 this is definitely gonna help me memorize

  • @rupjyotidas3091

    But my book shows that the object distance will always be negative if it is in front of the concavemirror and will always be positive if it is behind the convex mirror

    • @shabarish2727
      @shabarish2727 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      take any direction you want
      just all other directions should be taken in the same convention.
      Object distance negative then so be it , just adjust others

    • @zafferabassnaik

      It is for convex mirror.

      No always negative in my class, You just have to indicate eventually what frame of reference you're using on a diagram. I believe Khan even stated that algebraically we have left to right is positive and down to up is positive.

      Guys do we have to make it with measurements or without measurements

  • @karmapolice3335

    ah man you complicated this so much...

  • @lucasfreire1090
    @lucasfreire1090 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I didn't find this video to be accurate, because the object height is being measured from the vertex of the mirror and not from the point where the yellow ray of light is reflecting

  • @caputlp1340
    @caputlp1340 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Isn't there something wrong with the last triangle? I meen how can you assume it is a right triangle? Is it just an approximation?
    By the way great video 👌

    • @burninhell4448
      @burninhell4448 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, it is just an approximation.
