An object is 37.5 cm from a converging mirror (focal length = 13.0 cm). Determine the image magnification. Enter the numerical part of your answer to two significant figures. Hint: Remember that the sign of the magnification is significant.
Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

An object is 37.5 cm from a converging mirror (focal length = 13.0 cm). Determine the image magnification.
Enter the numerical part of your answer to two significant figures.
Hint: Remember that the sign of the magnification is significant.
Given,
An object is 37.5 cm from a converging mirror (focal length = 13.0 cm).
Object distance, u =
Focal length , f = -13.0 cm
Let the image distance be v,
Then using mirror formula ,
Image distance, v = -9.65 cm
