Practice Question
1.State the formula to calculate magnification
2. Describe what is meant by the term magnification
Magnification is the number of times larger or smaller an image appears, compared to the original object size.
3. If a magnification of 0.8 is calculated, would the image be smaller or larger than the original object?
Image would be smaller than the object.
4. Sarah measured her image height as 0.15m and her object height as 7.5cm. Calculate her magnification
Both quantities need to be in the same units. So, 0.15m = 15cm
Magnification = Image height/Object height
Magnification = 15/7.5 = 2
5. On the grid below each box is 1cm x 1cm.
5a. In the image above, each box is 1cm x 1cm. Calculate the magnification.
The image arrow is 6 boxes high from the black horizontal line, so 6cm
The object arrow is 2.8 boxes high from the black horizontal line. So, 2.8cm
Magnification = Image height/Image height
Magnification = 6/2.8 = 2.1
