Question
Magnification (m) provided by a convex mirror can be
Solution
The magnification (m) provided by a convex mirror can be calculated using the formula:
m = -v/u
where:
- m is the magnification,
- v is the image distance, and
- u is the object distance.
The negative sign indicates that the image formed by a convex mirror is virtual and erect. The magnitude of m gives the size of the image relative to the object. If |m| < 1, the image is diminished and if |m| > 1, the image is magnified. However, for a convex mirror, the image is always diminished, so |m| is always less than 1.
