Magnification of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image Calculator

Calculate Magnification of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image





Formula

The formula to calculate the Magnification of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image is:

\[ m_{\text{concave,virtual}} = \frac{v_{\text{concave,virtual}}}{u_{\text{concave,virtual}}} \]

Where:

Definition

The magnification of a concave mirror with a virtual image is the ratio of the height of the virtual image to the height of the object, formed by a concave mirror when the image is virtual.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ m_{\text{concave,virtual}} = \frac{v_{\text{concave,virtual}}}{u_{\text{concave,virtual}}} \]

Evaluating:

\[ m_{\text{concave,virtual}} = \frac{-0.2}{1.3} \]

The Magnification of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image is -0.153846153846154.
