Question
Find the height of the image of a body of height 1.5m in a mirror with a magnification of 1.5.

Solution
Mirror formula is the relation between the focal length f of the mirror, the distance u of the object from the pole of the mirror, and the distance v of the image from the pole.
Mirror formula is
1/v +1/u = 1/f.
Size of body = 1.5 m.
Magnification of body = 1.5.
Magnification = height of image / height of object.
Height of image = magnification x height of object.
Height of image = 1.5 x 1.5= 2.25 m.
