Question

The magnification produced by a convex mirror is ¼. List two information given by this statement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Data:

Mirror = Convex mirror

Magnification = M = 1/4

magnification sign = positive

Required:

Information about image = ?

Solution:

If magnitude of magnification of  convex mirror is 1 (plus or minus) then

Its means that the image and object have the same size.

If magnitude of magnification of  convex mirror is greater than 1 the image is larger than the object, and if magnitude is less than 1  then it means the image size is smaller than the object.

And

If the magnification is positive, the image is upright as compared to the object; if magnification is negative, then the image is inverted compared to the object.

IN our case

Magnification is 1/4 which is positive and less the 1

So

1) Image will be smaller in size  as compared to object.

2)The image is upright compared to object.
