If the image height is 10 cm and the objects height is 1 cm then the
magnification is
a. 10 times
b. 2 times
c. 100 times
d. 0.1 times
e. none of the above

Hello!! I am hee again!!

The correct answer is a)10 times.


"...the height of the image produced by the lens divided by the height
of the object determines the lateral magnification (M) of the lens:

Magnification (M) = (Image Height)/(Object Height) = b/a "
From "Molecular Expressions Microscopy Primer: Physics of Light and
Color - Lenses and Geometrical Optics"

Definition:
Magnification:" In microscopy, the ratio (distance between two points
in the image)/(distance between the two corresponding points in the
specimen). The apparent size of the specimen or primary image at 25 cm
(~ 10 inches) from the eye is considered to be at I x . Commonly,
magnification refers to the ratio of the distance between two points
in the image, lying in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of
the microscope, to the corresponding two points in the specimen. This
is the lateral magnification. The longitudinal or axial magnification
is measured along the optical axis and (for small distances from the
focal plane) is given by the square of the lateral magnification."
