Question
Magnification produced by a convex mirror is always:
(a) more than 1
(b) less than 1
(c) equal to 1
(d) more or less than 1
Solution
less than 1
Magnification produced by a convex mirror is always less than 1. This is because the size of the image formed by a convex mirror is smaller than the object.
