A mirror forms a virtual image of an object. If the magnification is greater than 1.0, can the mirror be a diverging mirror? explain.
thanks so much to anyone who is able to help.. I will choose best answer.

All diverging mirrors have m < 1.0
Converging mirrors with the object closer than f to the mirror form virtual images with m > 1.0
Example: Make-up mirrors are concave and magnify the image of the face.
Answer: No, it cannot be a diverging mirror.

Mirror can never be diverging! I do not agree with Ashley. A converging mirror always forma a virtual and magnified image. Real image formed by it can have magnification < 1 = 1 or >1 and the real image is always inverted.

If it is a virtual image, the mirror must be diverging. Converging mirrors with mag. more than 1 form real images
