no. My point was funhouse mirrors do not typically invert the image, maybe you never been to one, so look to that case for an answer to your question re magnification. Its always better to be able to do the ray diagrams, but from your other post, I see that this might not be a skill you have yet.

Hehe-I now remember the last time I had seen other than a plane mirror--it was strategically located at waist height just above the toilet. Very gratifying place to relieve oneself.:wink:
