Suppose you have three concave mirrors A, B and C of focal lengths 10cm, 15cm and 20cm. For each concave mirror, you perform the experiment of image formation for three values of object distance of 10cm, 20cm and 30cm. Giving reason answer the following:
  1. For the three object distances, identify the mirror/ mirrors which will form an image of magnification - 1.
  2. Out of the three mirrors identify the mirror which would be preferred to be used for shaving purposes/ makeup.
