Magnification of Convex Mirror using Height Calculator

Formula

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

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

Where:

\(m_{convex}\) is the Magnification of the Convex Mirror
\(h_{image, convex}\) is the Image Height in the Convex Mirror (m)
\(h_{object, convex}\) is the Object Height in the Convex Mirror (m)

Definition

Magnification of a 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 Height (\(h_{image, convex}\)) = -0.654 m
Object Height (\(h_{object, convex}\)) = 0.76312 m

Using the formula:

\[ m_{convex} = \frac{-0.654}{0.76312} \]

Evaluating:

\[ m_{convex} = -0.857008072124961 \]

The Magnification of the Convex Mirror is -0.857008072124961.
