di = f

(b) Is the image real or virtual? realvirtual     
(c) What is the magnification of the image?


(d) Is the image upright or inverted?

Explanation / Answer

(A) 1/v - 1/u = 1/f => 1/v + 1/3.4f = 1/f => 1/v = (1/f) (1 - 1/3.4) => v = 3.4f/(3.4 - 1) = 1.42 f

(B) Image is real

(C) magnification, m = 1.42/3.4 = 0.42

(D) m > 0 => image is upright.
