If f is focal length and v is image distance for spherical mirror, then beteral magnification m = …....

A

`(f)/(f+v)`

B

`(f)/(f-v)`

C

`(f+v)/(f)`

D

`(f-v)/(f)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For spherical mirror,
`1/f=1/u+1/v implies 1/u=1/f-1/v`
`implies 1/u=(v-f)/(fv)`
`therefore v/u=(v-f)/(f)" "therefore m=-((v-f)/(f))=(f-v)/(f)`
