Question

an object 1.70 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person's cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.167 cm high. what is the magnification?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.098

The magnification can be calculated using the formula:

magnification = height of reflected image / height of object

In this case, the height of the reflected image is 0.167 cm and the height of the object is 1.70 cm. Therefore:

magnification = 0.167 / 1.70
magnification = 0.098

Therefore, the magnification is 0.098.
