where f is focal length v is the distance of the image from the mirror, and u is the distance of the object from the mirror.
Linear magnification (m):
- It is defined as the ratio of the height of the image (hi) to the height of the object (ho).
- The ratio of image distance to the object distance is called linear magnification.
