Magnification of Concave Mirror with Virtual Image using Height Calculator

Calculate Magnification





Formula

The formula to calculate the Magnification of a Concave Mirror is:

\[ m_{concave} = \frac{h_{image, concave}}{h_{object, concave}} \]

Where:

Definition

Magnification of a Concave Mirror is the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object, which is formed by a concave mirror, used to describe the size of the image relative to the object.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ m_{concave} = \frac{0.7}{0.28} \]

Evaluating:

\[ m_{concave} = 2.5 \]

The Magnification of the Concave Mirror is 2.5.
