Question

Q. 08 ASSERTION:The magnification produced by rear view mirror fitted in vehicles is less than 1 REASON: Corvex mirror always form diminished and erect image of an object O 1.a O 2.b O 3.0 O 4.0 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

01

Explanation:

We know, magnification of a mirror, m=

heightoftheobject

heightoftheimage

If the magnification is m≥1, then height of the image is equal or greater than the height of the object. So, a small part of the image will be viewed through the mirror. Then, we cannot have the detailed idea of motion of vehicles behind us.

But in rear view mirror, we can easily see even the bigger vehicles following as these mirrors forms a virtual, erect but diminished image of the actual object.

Hence, the magnification of rear view mirror is always less than one.
