Question
If the magnification of a body of size 1 m is 2, what is the size of the image?
Solution
Size of body (h) = 1 m
Size of image (h') = ?
Magnification (m) = 2
We know that,
`m=k/h`
`2= k/h`
h' = 2 m
Size of the image is 2 m.

A student has obtained an image of a well-illuminated distant object on a screen to determine the focal length, F1of the given spherical mirror. The teacher then gave him another mirror of focal length, F2 and asked him to obtain a focused image of the same object on the same screen. The student found that in order to focus the same object using the second mirror, he has to move the mirror away from the screen. From this observation, it may be concluded that both the spherical mirrors given to the student were (select the correct option)
(A) Concave and F1 < F2
(B) Concave and F1 > F2
(C) Convex and F1 < F2
(D) Convex and F1 > F2

An object 20 cm from a spherical mirror gives rise to virtual image 15 cm behind the mirror. Determine the magnification of the image and the type of mirror used.
Write down the magnification formula for a lens in terms of object distance and image distance. How does this magnification formula for a lens differ from the corresponding formula for a mirror?
A lens of focal length 20 cm is used to produce a ten times magnified image of a film slide on a screen. How far must the slide be placed from the lens?
A magnifying lens has a focal length of 100 mm. An object whose size is 16 mm is placed at some distance from the lens so that an image is formed at a distance of 25 cm in front of the lens.
What is the distance between the object and the lens?
The magnification produced by a spherical lens and a spherical mirror is + 2.0.
(a) The lens and mirror are both concave
(b) The lens and mirror are both convex
(c) The lens is convex but the mirror is concave
(d) The lens is concave but the mirror is convex
Magnification for the convex mirror is ______.
Assertion: The focal length of the mirror is /and the distance of the object from the focus is V then the magnification of the mirror will be `("f"/"f−u")`
Reason: Magnification = `"image distance"/ "object distance"` = `(-"v"/"u")`
