Which of the following expressions gives the linear magnification produced by a concave mirror of radius of curvature r, if U and V are the object and image distances respectively?

A.

Vr - 1

B.

2Vr - 1

C.

Ur - 1

D.

2Ur - 1

Correct answer is B

F = r2 and v = mu

F = UVU+V

r2 = U×muU+mu

r2 = mu2u(1+m)

r2=mu1+m

r2=v1+m

2vr=1+m

m=2vr1
