Problem 16 - Entrance Test

Magnification produced by a convex mirror is always:

Correct: B

A convex mirror always forms a virtual, erect, and diminished image for any real object placed in front of it. Since the image is always smaller than the object, the ratio of image height to object height (magnification) will always be less than 1. Also, since the image is erect, the magnification will be positive.
