Página 15 - Hence we may conclude that the image of a body seen in a convex mirror is always behind the mirror, and less than the object in the ratio of mn : MN, ie in the ratio of nC : NC, the distances of the image and object from the centre of the mirror.
Página 37 - MN be placed inside the principal focus, the divergence of the pencils proceeding from it will exceed the divergence of rays proceeding from the focus; and therefore the effect of the lens will only be to diminish this divergence, and make the rays appear to proceed from an image mn, farther away from the lens than the object, and at the same side. It...
