Question

The focal length of a simple magnifier is 8.20 cm . Assume the magnifier to be a thin lens placed very close to the eye. How far in front of the magnifier should an object be placed if the image is formed at the observer's near point, 25.0 cm in front of her eye? Answer = 6.17cm. QUESTION: If the object is h = 1.30 mm high, what is the height of its image formed by the magnifier? I found the magnification to be 3.05, so i multipied it by the height an got 3.97 mm for the answer, but apparently that is wrong.please help

Explanation / Answer

1/u-1/25=1/8.2 u=6.17 cm b) 1.3/6.17=h/25 h=5.27
