MCQ
Magnification produced by a concave lens is always:
  • A
    More than 1.
  • B
    Equal to 1.
  • C
    Less than 1.
  • D
    More than 1 or less than 1.
✓

Answer

  1. Less than 1.

Explanation:

$\text{Magnification}=\frac{\text{Size of the image}}{\text{Size of the object}}$

From the formula, it is clear that the magnification varies directly with the size of the image. The image formed by a concave mirror is always smaller than the size of the object. Therefore, the magnification of a concave mirror is always less than 1.
