Answer:
1/2 is the answer of this question
Explanation:
When an object is placed at a distance of 60 cm from a convex mirror, the magnification produced is 1/2.
Answer:
object distance(u)=60cm
image distance(v)=30cm
by sign convention
u=-60cm
v=30cm
magnification=-v/u
substituting values in formula
we get,
-(-60)/30
60/30=2
magnification =2
therefore image is erect,virtual.
