The magnification factor (m) for a convex mirror is defined as the ratio of the image height (h') to the object height (h), expressed as ( m = \frac{h'}{h} ). For a convex mirror, the magnification is always positive and less than 1, indicating that the image is virtual, upright, and smaller than the object. The formula for magnification can also be expressed in terms of the object distance (u) and the image distance (v) as ( m = -\frac{v}{u} ), where both v and u are negative for a convex mirror.
it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
Yes. In convex mirrors, the image is always erect and diminished, at whatever distance the object may be in front of the mirror. The convex mirror has a wide field of view and hence is used as a rear view( or driving) mirror in vehicles, to view the traffic behind.

A "concave" mirror curves inward. A "convex" mirror curves outward.
The magnification equation for a convex mirror is given by: M = -1 / (1 - d/f), where M is the magnification, d is the object distance, and f is the focal length of the mirror. The negative sign indicates that the image formed is virtual and upright.
To determine the magnification of a mirror, divide the height of the image by the height of the object. The result will be the magnification factor.
The magnification of a convex mirror is always positive because the image formed is virtual and upright. The magnification is less than 1 because the image is diminished in size compared to the object. This is due to the diverging nature of convex mirrors, causing the rays to spread out and create a smaller image.
To test mirror magnification, you can place a ruler at a known distance from the mirror and measure the size of the reflected image. By comparing the size of the image to the actual size on the ruler, you can determine the magnification factor of the mirror.
A convex mirror will always create a virtual image. It will also have a negative magnification. The passenger side mirror in every car is slightly convex. [The one with "Objects in Mirror are closer than they appear"] Also, anti-theft mirrors in convenience stores have these properties.

No; I have a convex mirror that is a x 10 magnification, great for plucking eyebrows I can tell you and it is curved.
convex mirror
The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror
Convex is () and makes objects appear larger. Concave is )( and makes objects appear smaller. The side rear-view mirrors on cars have concave mirrors, hence, "Object are closer than they appear." Easy way to remember is that a cave is like a hole in the ground, so something is concave if it gets smaller towards the center.
