Magnification produced by a spherical mirror is equal to:

Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (A) (height of an image) / (height of an object)

   The magnification (M) produced by a spherical mirror (whether concave or convex) is given by the formula:

                                        $$M = \frac{\text{height of image (h\(_i\))}}{\text{height of object (h\(_o\))}}$$

​

• This formula expresses the ratio of the image's height to the object's height, and it also represents how much larger or smaller the image is compared to the object.
• The magnification can also be related to the object and image distances, but the height ratio is a direct and simple way to calculate magnification.
