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.
What else can I help you with?
Is a torch mirror concave or convex?
it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves
What is a mirror that is curved?
A mirror that is curved outward is convex. A mirror that is curved inward is concave.
Is a rear view mirror convex?
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.
Which type of mirror is used to help you see around corners?
Convex mirror :) - Shania L
A mirror that's curves outward?
A "concave" mirror curves inward. A "convex" mirror curves outward.
What is the Magnification equation for convex mirror?
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.
How can I determine the magnification of my mirror?
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.
How magnification of a convex mirror is always Positive and its magnitude is less than 1?
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.
How do you test mirror magnification?
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.
How does convex mirrors affect light?
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.

Do all mirrors have flat surfaces?
No; I have a convex mirror that is a x 10 magnification, great for plucking eyebrows I can tell you and it is curved.
Which mirror is used in agra fort?
convex mirror
When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?
The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
Is a torch mirror concave or convex?
it is a convex mirror as it produces diverging waves
How do you find the virtual focus in a convex mirror?
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror
Write magnification relation in terms of you and v for convex lens and concave 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.
