The size of an object’s image is larger (or smaller) than the object itself based on its magnification, m. The level of magnification is proportional to the ratio of v and u. An image that is double the size of the object would have magnification m = 2.

Understanding Linear Magnification: Linear magnification (M) is the ratio of the image distance (v) to the object distance (u). The formula is given as M = v/u. Analyzing the Diagram: Carefully examine Diagram 4 to estimate the image distance (v) and the object distance (u). Since precise measurements aren't provided, we'll have to make ...

The mirror formula is given by \(\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}\), where u is object distance, v is image distance and f is focal length. Focal length of concave mirror is negative, whereas focal length of convex mirror is positive. The linear magnification produced by lens is equal to the ratio of image distance to the object distance.

The formula for magnification is as follows: \(\begin{array}{l} m = \frac{h’}{h} = \frac{v}{u} \end{array} \) Here, m represents magnification, h’ is the height of the image, h is the height of the object, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.
