Magnification - Fridge Physics

Demo

In this tutorial you will learn how to calculate the magnification of objects in given examples.

Note-Some mobile devices may require you to tap full screen during playback to view video content.

The equation is written like this:

Magnification = image height / object height

Chilled practice question

Calculate the image height if an object height is 25 mm and the magnification is 3.5.

Science in context

The magnification can be calculated if you know the actual size of the object and its image size.
