AP Physics 2
13.2 Images Formed by Mirrors

In Trial 1, the object is placed at Position \(X\) at a distance of \(0.5f\) from the mirror. In Trial 2, the object is placed at Position \(Y\) at a distance of \(1.5f\) from the mirror.
Which row in the table correctly describes the images formed at each position and compares the magnitudes of their lateral magnifications, \(|M_X|\) and \(|M_Y|\)?
| Row | Image at Position \(X\) | Image at Position \(Y\) | Magnification Magnitudes |
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | Real and inverted | Virtual and upright | \(|M_X| > |M_Y|\) |
| (B) | Virtual and upright | Real and inverted | \(|M_X| = |M_Y|\) |
| (C) | Virtual and upright | Real and inverted | \(|M_X| > |M_Y|\) |
| (D) | Real and inverted | Real and inverted | \(|M_X| < |M_Y|\) |
