A negative value of magnification for a mirror indicates that the image is
Areal and inverted
Bvirtual and erect
Cerect and enlarged
Dsmall and upright
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. real and inverted
1. Magnification m = h_i/h_o = -v/u.
2. A negative m means image height opposes object height, so the image is inverted.
3. For a single mirror an inverted image is real.
