1) The relation of the magnoficationa is written as
M=hiho
hi is the length of the image. Notice that hi=3cm, where the minus sign indicates that the image is inverted. ho is the length of the object. Thus, we have
M=3cm1cm=3
2)Light ray is the answer. It is a line that is perpendicular to the light's wavefronts and keeps travelling in a straight line unit until encounters a reflecting surface, then it changes its direction.
