Which of the following can produce a magnification of $+5$ as well as $-5$?
A
Convex mirror
B
Concave mirror
C
Plane mirror
D
Both convex and concave mirrors

Solution

(B) Magnification $(m)$ is defined as the ratio of the height of the image $(h')$ to the height of the object $(h)$,i.e.,$m = h'/h$.
For a spherical mirror,$m = -v/u$.
$1$. $A$ magnification of $+5$ indicates a virtual,erect,and magnified image. This occurs when an object is placed between the pole $(P)$ and the focus $(F)$ of a concave mirror.
$2$. $A$ magnification of $-5$ indicates a real,inverted,and magnified image. This occurs when an object is placed between the focus $(F)$ and the center of curvature $(C)$ of a concave mirror.
Since both cases are possible with a concave mirror,the correct answer is a concave mirror.
