Chapter 18, Problem 5STP

To determine

To Choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 5STP

OptionB

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Using the sign convention:

Object distance, $u=-4.15\text{m}$ (in front of the camera lens)

Image distance, $v=5.0\text{cm}=\text{0}\text{.05 m}$ (Behind the camera lens)

Formula used:

Magnification of image is given by:

  $m=\frac{v}{u}$

Here, v is the image distance and uis the object distance.

Calculations:

Substitute the values:

  $\begin{array}{c}m=\frac{v}{u}\\ =\frac{0.05}{\left(-4.15\right)}\\ =-0.012\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Thus, option B is correct.
