Chapter SH, Problem 13.2APP

To determine

To calculate: Magnification.

Answer to Problem 13.2APP

Magnification of image is $\underset{\_}{80\text{ times}}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Size of the object = $0.0035\text{ mm}$

Size of the image = $0.028\text{ cm}$

Formula used:

Magnification is given by,

  $\text{Magnification =}\frac{\text{Image size}}{\text{Object size}}$

Calculation:

Magnification is calculated as:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{ Magnification =}\frac{\text{Image size}}{\text{Object size}}\\ =\frac{0.28\text{ mm}}{0.0035\text{ mm}}\\ =80\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Magnification of image is $\underset{\_}{80\text{ times}}$ .
