Answer:Explained

Explanation:

The scientist of that time could not believe that the electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through so they made a space filling substance necessary to travel of electromagnetic waves called aether.

But after the special 0 theory of relativity this idea is discarded and fell out.

A concave mirror has a focal length of 13.5 cm. This mirror forms an image located 37.5 cm in front of the mirror. Find the magn
77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.
