Question

what is magnification of a spherical mirror

Answer 1

Hi Friends ✋✋

Magnification produced by a spherical mirror or Magnification of a spherical mirror gives the relative extent to which the image of an object is magnified with respect to object size.

It is the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object.

Magnification is represented by the letter " m ".

Let " h " be the height of the object and " h' " be the height of the image

then magnification is :-

m = h' / h

Magnification is also the relation between the object distance to image distance.

Let " v " be the image distance and " u " be the object distance.

then magnification is :-

m = - v / u

Hope it helps

Answer 2

magnification is the increase in the image size produced by spherical mirror with respect to the object size. It is the ratio of the height of the object and is denoted as 'm'. The magnification, m produced by a spherical mirror can be expressed as m=h/h'.
here h is the height of the image and h' is the height of the object. and magnification is also equal to the ratio of the image distance to the object distance.
m=v/u
