The magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1. What does this mean ?

Answer»

Solution :We know that MAGNIFICATION prodcued by a mirror is given by
`m = (h.)/(h) = -(v)/(u)`
As magnification produced by a plane mirror m = + 1, HENCE we have
`+1 = (h.)/(h) = - (v)/(u) rArr h. = h` and v = -u
Thus the size of image is exactly equal to the size of the OBJECT placed in FRONT of it. Moreover, the image is formed as MUCH behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
