Question

Which of the following is the formula for magnification in case of spherical mirror?

• A. \(\frac {V}{U}\)
• B. \(\frac {-V}{U}\)
• C. \(\frac {U}{V}\)
• D. \(\frac {-U}{V}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem, we need to find the formula for magnification in the case of a spherical mirror.

1. Magnification Formula for Spherical Mirrors:
The magnification $m$ for spherical mirrors (both concave and convex) is given by the formula:

$ m = \frac{V}{U} $

where:
$V$ is the image distance (distance of the image from the mirror),
$U$ is the object distance (distance of the object from the mirror).

2. Conclusion:
The correct formula for magnification in case of spherical mirrors is $ \frac{V}{U} $.

Final Answer:
The formula for magnification in case of spherical mirror is $ {\frac{V}{U}} $.
