Magnification Distance Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Magnification (M) is:

\[ \text{M} = \frac{\text{d}_i}{\text{d}_o} \]

Where:

Magnification (M): A measure of how much larger or smaller an image appears compared to the actual object.
Image Distance (d_i): The distance from the lens to the image.
Object Distance (d_o): The distance from the lens to the object.

Let's say the image distance (d_i) is 20 cm and the object distance (d_o) is 10 cm. Using the formula:

\[ \text{M} = \frac{20}{10} = 2 \]

So, the magnification is 2, indicating the image is twice the size of the object.
