Object positions along the principal axis of a concave mirror.
Object positions along the principal axis of a concave mirror.
An object is placed at three distinct positions along the principal axis of a concave spherical mirror with focal length \(f\): Position 1 at distance \(d_1 = 1.25f\), Position 2 at distance \(d_2 = 1.50f\), and Position 3 at distance \(d_3 = 1.75f\) from the mirror's vertex. Let \(|M_1|\), \(|M_2|\), and \(|M_3|\) represent the magnitude of the magnification of the image produced when the object is placed at Positions 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Which of the following correctly ranks the magnitudes of these magnifications?
