When an object is placed normallyon the principal axis of a spherial mirror at a distance 'a' from its pole, its image is formed at a distance 'v' from the pole of mirror such that (1)/(v)+(1)/(u)=(1)/(f), where f = focal length of given mirror. The relation is called mirror formula and is true for all types of mirrors under all conditions. However, values of u, v and f must be put with proper signs are per the sign convention followed. If 'h' be the height of the linear object and h' the height of image, then ratio (h')/(h) is called linear magnification or lateral magnification and its value m is given as : m=(h')/(h)=-(v)/(u) (d) Define longitudinal magnification. |
| Answer» Solution :LONGITUDINAL MAGNIFICATION is defined as the ratio of length of image to the length of an OBJECT held along the principal axis of the mirror. | |
