(a) Define the term “magnification” in the context of spherical mirrors. Express it in terms of object-distance (u) and image-distance (v). Besides size and position of image, what other two informations it provides about the image?
Magnification is the increase in the image size produced by spherical mirrors with respect to the object size. It is the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object and is denoted as m.
magnification is equal to the ratio of minus of image distance by object
m= - v/u
