Question on: JAMB Physics - 1993

Which of the following expressions gives the linear magnification produced by a concave mirror of radius of curvature r, if U and V are the object and image distances respectively?

A
\(\frac{V}{r}\) - 1
B
\(\frac{2V}{r}\) - 1
C
\(\frac{U}{r}\) - 1
D
\(\frac{2U}{r}\) - 1

Correct Option: D

F = (\frac{r}{2}) and v = mu

F = (\frac{UV}{U + V})

(\frac{r}{2}) = (\frac{U \times mu}{U + mu})

(\frac{r}{2}) = (\frac{mu^2}{V(1 + m)})

m = (\frac{2u}{r}) - 1
