Magnification of Convex Mirror Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Magnification of Convex Mirror is:

$m_{\text{convex}} = \frac{v_{\text{convex}}}{u_{\text{convex}}}$

Where:

$m_{\text{convex}}$ is the Magnification of Convex Mirror
$v_{\text{convex}}$ is the Image Distance of Convex Mirror (m)
$u_{\text{convex}}$ is the Object Distance of Convex Mirror (m)

Definition

Magnification of Convex Mirror is the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object, which is formed by the convex mirror, and it is used to describe the size of the image.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Image Distance ( $v_{\text{convex}}$ ) = -0.4 m
Object Distance ( $u_{\text{convex}}$ ) = 0.4667 m

Using the formula:

$m_{\text{convex}} = \frac{-0.4}{0.4667}$

Evaluating:

$m_{\text{convex}} = -0.857081637025927$

The Magnification of Convex Mirror is -0.857081637025927.
