Question
What is the magnification for a plane mirror?a) +1b) -1c) greater than +1d) not defined for a plane mirror
Step 1
Step 1: The magnification (M) of a mirror is given by the formula: \[ M = -\frac{D_i}{D_o} \] where \(D_i\) is the image distance and \(D_o\) is the object distance. Show more…
