What is Distance Rule?

The distance rule in optics states that the position of an image formed by a lens or mirror is related to the object distance and the focal length. It helps in determining the location and type of image (real or virtual) based on the relative distances of the object and the optical device. This rule is fundamental for understanding image formation in optical systems.
