A) the linear magnification is 1, for both types of curved mirrors
B) the linear magnification is 1 for a convex mirror
C) the linear magnification is 1/3 for a convex mirror
D) none of these
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
For a curved mirror, when object is placed at 2F, the real image of the same size as , that of object is formed at 2C. So, for a concave mirror \[m=\frac{-f}{-f-(-2f)}=-1\] For convex mirror, \[m=\frac{f}{f-(-2f)}=\frac{1}{3}\]You need to login to perform this action.
