Vedclass · Answer

(A) The magnification $(m)$ of a mirror is defined as the ratio of the height of the image $(h_i)$ to the height of the object $(h_o)$,given by $m = h_i / h_o$.For a plane mirror,the image formed is virtual,erect,and of the same size as the object.Since the image is erect,the magnification is positive $(+)$.Since the size of the image is equal to the size of the object $(h_i = h_o)$,the ratio $h_i / h_o = 1$.Therefore,the magnification produced by a plane mirror is $+1$.
