The magnification of the ornament is 0.25
To calculate the magnification of the ornament, first, we need to find the image distance.
Formula:
- 1/f = u⁻¹+v⁻¹.................... Equation 1
Where:
- f = Focal length of the ornament
- u = image distance
- v = object distance.
make u the subject of the equation
- u = fv/(f+v)................ Equation 2
From the question,
Given:
Substitute these values into equation 2
- u = (12×4)/(12+4)
- u = 48/16
- u = 3 cm.
Finally, to get the magnification of the ornament, we use the formula below.
- M = u/v.................. Equation 3
Where
- M = magnification of the ornament.
Substitute these values above into equation 3
Hence, The magnification of the ornament is 0.25
