What is the magnification for a plane mirror? a) +1 b) -1 c) greater than +1 d) not defined for a plane mirror
The magnification produced by a plane mirror is $+1 .$ What does this mean?
A plane mirror essentially has a radius of curvature of infinity. Using the mirror equation, show that (a) the image of a plane mirror is always virtual, (b) the image is "behind" the mirror the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror, and (c) the image is always upright.
