Q)The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is + 0.5. Analyse this value and state the type of mirror and position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw ray diagram to show the formation of image in this case.
Answers
Answer:
Given that Magnification, m = -(1/5)
Thus, the image formed is real and inverted image.

That is, the height of the image is 5 times the height of the object and the distance of the object is 5 times the distance of the image.
