11. A candle is placed in front of a plane mirror. The calculated value of m,
the lateral magnification, is positive. What does the positive sign indicate
about the image?
O The image is enlarged.
The image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.
The image distance is greater than the object distance.
The image is upright.

Respuesta :

Answer: If the magnification is positive, the image is upright compared to the object; if m is negative, the image is inverted compared to the object.

(I think, I was also stuck on this question for a bit)

The positive sign indicate about the image that

b) The image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.

d) The image is upright.

What is magnification ?

Magnification  is a quantification of comparing the size of the image with respect to the size of the object. It gives us information about the image in terms of how large or small is the image formed.

magnification   = height of image / height of object

since , height of object  is always positive as it is always kept upright hence , in order to make m positive ,  height of image  need to be positive

also magnification    = -(v/u )

v = image distance

u = object distance

u is always positive hence , in order to make m positive , v needs to be negative , which implies on the same side of the mirror as the object

correct option

b) The image is on the same side of the mirror as the object.

d) The image is upright.
