The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is –1. Analysing this value state the (i) type of mirror and (ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw ray diagram to justify your answer

i) Negative sign in magnification indicates that the image is real and inverted.The type of mirror is concave .
ii) Since modulus value of m is 1 the image is of the same size as that the object.
iii)The position of object is at the center of curvature(C).
