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.


What is the Magnification equation for concave mirror?

The magnification equation for a concave mirror is given by the formula: M = - (image distance) / (object distance), where M is the magnification, image distance is the distance from the mirror to the image, and object distance is the distance from the mirror to the object. Negative magnification indicates an inverted image.


What are characterstics of plane mirror?

Plane mirrors have a flat, smooth surface, which produces virtual upright images that are the same size as the object. They obey the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. They do not produce any magnification or distortion of the reflected image.
