Question 12

The image formed by a convex mirror is of size one-third the size of object. How are u and v related?

Answer

Magnification (m) = - image distance (v)object distance (u)\dfrac{\text {image distance (v)}}{\text{object distance (u)}} = - 13\dfrac{1}{3}

Hence, we get,

v = - 13\dfrac{1}{3}u

Or

u = -3v
