Question

If the size of an object is 5cm and magnification produced by a concave mirror is -0.5, what would be the size of the image formed?

Answer 1

Explanation:

m= -0.5

ho= 5cm

hi=?

m=hi/ho

-0.5=hi/5

hi= -0.5×5

hi = -2.5

Answer 2

Answer:

The size of the image would be -2.5

size of the object=5cm

magnification=-0.5

size of the image=?

magnification = size of object / size of image

-0.5 = 5 / size of image

size of image = 5 × -0.5

= -2.5

Therefore, the size of the image is -2.5
