Question

The magnification produced by a mirror is 1.5 what does it signify what the images.

Answer 1

Answer:

It means that the height of image is greater than the height of object i.e the image is magnified. But, the image formed in a plane mirror is virtual, erect and its magnification is 1........................

Answer 2

Answer:

• Magnification is the process of enlarging something's apparent size rather than its actual size.

• This enlargement is measured in terms of a calculated quantity known as "magnification."

Magnification of a mirror is defined as the ratio of size of image to the size of the object,

m = $\frac{h_i}{h_0}$

Where, m is the magnification

$h_i$ is the size of image

and $h_0$ is the size of object.

From the question, magnification produced by a mirror = 1.5

• When the magnification is + 1. 5, this implies that  size  of the image is 1. 5 times than the actual object size

Hence, the positive sign indicates that the image formed is virtual and erect. This also implies that the mirror is convex mirror.
