Undergrad Derivation for magnification equation for convex mirrors
I appreciate your patience, but sorry, I can't see the other similar triangle that can help. On the other hand, the relation ΔAOF≈ΔGMF only gives you AO/GM=MF/OF which is h/GM=(f+o)/f in this case i think we cannot assume GM=h' because if you draw a bigger diagram you can see that GM is... -

Undergrad Derivation for magnification equation for convex mirrors
Yes, I drew a diagram just like you described, and I did find a similar triangle of AOF and GMF, but pardon my slowness in math; I failed to see how the rest of the derivation goes. So can you please elaborate on the rest of the similar triangles and how the final result is derived? -

Undergrad Derivation for magnification equation for convex mirrors
Hello everyone, I really run into a problem here. The magnification equation for mirrors describes such a relation: M=-distance of image/distance of object = height of image/height of object. (M=(-i/o)=h'/h). I understand how this formula can be proved using a ray diagram for concave...
