+2 magnification of a mirror means that the size of the image is twice the size of the object and the image formed is erect.
- The formula of magnification produced by a mirror is magnification = h'/h, where h' is the image size and h is the object size.
- So, it is given that h'/h = +2 which implies that h' = 2h, So from here we can observe that the size of the image is twice the size of the object.
- When the magnification is + this means that the image formed is erect and -ve means that the image formed is inverted.
