Question

Match the corresponding entries of Column 1 with Column 2. [Where $$m$$ is the magnification produced by the mirror]
Column 1 Column 2
1. $$m=-2$$ a. Convex mirror
2. $$m = - \frac{1}{2}$$ b. Concave mirror
3. $$m=+2$$ c. Real image
4. $$m = + \frac{1}{2}$$ d. Virtual image

A. 1 → a and c; 2 → a and d; 3 → a and b; 4 → c and d
B. 1 → a and d; 2 → b and c; 3 → b and d; 4 → 2 and c
C. 1 → c and d; 2 → b and d; 3 → b and c; 4 → a and d
D. 1 → b and c; 2 → b and c; 3 → b and d; 4 → a and d  
Answer :   1 → b and c; 2 → b and c; 3 → b and d; 4 → a and d
Solution :
A concave mirror forms real and virtual images, whose magnification can be negative or positive depending upon the position of the object. If object is placed between focus and pole the image obtained will be virtual and its magnification will be positive. In all other cases concave mirror forms real images whose magnification will be negative. A convex mirror always forms a virtual image whose magnification will always be positive.
