So I have a lens which focuses light rays. Like in a camera.
What is the relationship between focal length and focused object size? I understand that bigger focal length=bigger zoom=less bright but are there any equations?

Snell's law/principle of least time?
I don't think I've done this since my high school geometry class.
You should be able to get some idea from the wikipedia articles on lens and mirrors.

oh shit its just geometry
I thought it had to do with wavelengths etc
