Question

the linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is minus one upon 5 analysing this value state the type of spherical mirror and the position of object with respect to pole of the mirror draw a ray diagram to justify your answer ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

As per the information given in question statement, the linear magnification is -1/5.

Here two things are important to note, the magnification is negative and also less than one. It means that the image formed is real, inverted and diminished, which means that the mirror used in concave in nature. And the position of object is such that it is placed beyond centre of curvature.
