A shop security mirror 5.0 m from certain items displayed in the shop produces one-tenth magnification.

(a) What is the type of mirror ?


(b) What is the radius of curvature of the mirror ?

(a) the type of mirror is Convex mirror

(b) Magnification = 1/10 = v/u


u = 10v


Object distance = 5m


Using mirror formula,


Focal length = 4.5m


Radius of curvature = 2f=9m0
