What is the magnification of concave mirror?

3 answer(s)
Answer # 1 #

The magnification (M) of a concave mirror is the ratio of the height of the image (h') to the height of the object (h):

M = h'/h = -v/u
where v is the image distance and u is the object distance.

When the object is at focus, the image is at infinity and magnification is theoretically infinite.
