Question

if the magnification of body of size 1m is 2 what isthe size of the image

Answer 1

Hi !

Height of object = h = 1 m

Height of image = h' = ?

Magnification = m = 2


we know that,

m = h'/h
2 = h'/1

h' = 2 m

Height/size of image is 2 metres

Answer 2

The size of the image is 2 m.

Explanation:

The formula for magnification of body is,

$\text{Magnification}=\frac{\text {Height of the image}}{\text {Height of the object}}$

The magnification is given as 2 and the height of the object is given as 1 m.

So, the height of the image is given below:

$\text{Height of the image} = \text{Magnification} \times \text{Height of the object}$

$\text{Height of the image} =2 \times 1=2 \ \mathrm{m}$

Thus, the size of the image is 2 m.
