Question
Write a short note on magnification produced by a mirror.
✓
Answer
Magnification produced by a spherical mirror gives the relative extent to which the image of an object is magnified with respect the object size.
→The ratio of the height of the image to he height of the object is called magnification.
→ It is usually represented by the letter m.
→If his the height of the object and h' is the height of the image, then the magnification m produced by a spherical mirror is given by.
...... (9.5)
→The magnification m is also related to the object distance u and image distance . It can be expressed as:
$m=-\frac{0}{n}$ ...... (9.6)
→As the object is usually pinced above the principal axis, the height the object, measured upwards, is taken to be positive.
→The height of the image should be taken as positive for virtual images, while it is to be taken as negative for real images.
→A negative (minus) sign in the value of the magnification indicates that the image is real.
→A positive (plus) sign in the value of the magnification indicates that the image is virtual.

Bharat was doing an experiment by using an ammeter. Suddenly, it fell from his hand and broke. He was afraid, that he might be scolded and threaten by his teacher. His classmate advised him not to tell the teacher, but he refused and told his teacher. On listening to him patiently, the teacher did not scold him and threaten as it was just an accident and used the opportunity to show the internal structure of the ammeter to the whole class.
On the basis of above passage, answer the following questions :
(1) What values do you learn from Bharat?
(2) What is the use of ammeter? How is it connected in the circuit?
(3) State the aim of any one experiment, where Bharat could have used the ammeter.
