Magnification produced by a rear view mirror fitted in vehicles

A

is less than one

B

is more than one

C

is equal to one

D

can be more than or less than one depending upon the position of the object in front of it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The convex mirror forms virtual, erect and diminished image of the object And rear view mirror also form some type of image. Therefore, magnification (m) produced by a rear view mirror fitted in vehicles is less than one i.e., m lt 1.
