.. py:function:: effective_focal_length(radius_of_curvature)

   Calculate the radius of curvature for a spherical mirror.

   :param radius_of_curvature: Radius of curvature of the mirror.
   :type radius_of_curvature: float

   :returns: * *float* -- Radius of curvature of the mirror. Units are the same as
               radius_of_curvature.

.. py:function:: mirror_depth(mirror_radius, radius_of_curvature)

   Calculate the depth of a spherical mirror.

   :param mirror_radius: Radius of the mirror. Must have the same units as
                         radius_of_curvature.
   :type mirror_radius: float
   :param radius_of_curvature: Radius of curvature of the mirror. Must have the same units as
                               mirror_radius.
   :type radius_of_curvature: float

   :returns: Depth of the mirror. Units are the same as the input parameters.
   :rtype: float
