Answer:
Image is twice as large as the object, and inverted
Explanation:
When an object is placed in front of a mirror, the mirror produces an image.
The magnification of the image is a number telling how much the size of the image is enlarged/diminished with respect to the object.
It is given by
[tex]M=\frac{y'}{y}[/tex]
where
M is the magnification
y' is the size of the image
y is the size of the object
In this problem,
M = -2
This means that:
[tex]y'=My\\y' = -2y[/tex]
So, we can conclude the following:
- The size of the image is twice the size of the real object
- The image is also inverted, because of the presence of the negative sign in the equation
