Question
In Example 9.1 (convex mirror, bus at 5.00 m, R = 3.00 m), the magnification is calculated to be approximately +0.23. What does this tell us about the image?
It is real, inverted, and larger than the object
It is virtual, erect, and smaller than the object (by a factor of 0.23)
It is real, erect, and the same size as the object
It cannot be determined from magnification alone
Answer
It is virtual, erect, and smaller than the object (by a factor of 0.23)
Detailed Explanation
A positive magnification of +0.23 indicates the image is virtual, erect, and smaller than the object by a factor of 0.23, as concluded in the chapter's Example 9.1.
What makes objects visible to us during the day, according to the chapter? Science · Light – Reflection and Refraction We are able to see through a transparent medium because light is Science · Light – Reflection and Refraction By observing common optical phenomena, we may conclude that light seems to travel in Science · Light – Reflection and Refraction The straight-line path of light is usually indicated as a Science · Light – Reflection and Refraction
