Question

what is magnification?​

Answer 1

Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification". When this number is less than one, it refers to a reduction in size, sometimes called minification or de-magnification.

Explanation:

The ratio of the height of image to the height of object is known as Linear Magnification.

Magnification = Height of Image/Height of object
