Calculate Magnification (M)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Magnification (M) is:

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

Where:

Example

Let's say the image distance (di) is 20 cm and the object distance (do) 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.
