Question

The maximum value of magnification in a convex mirror is

• A. 2
• B. 1
• C. \( \frac{1}{2} \)
• D. Infinite \bigskip

Hint:

A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image, so magnification is always \( m<1 \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

For a convex mirror, magnification is always less than 1 and positive. The maximum magnification occurs when the object is at infinity, and the image is at the focus with a magnification of 1.
