Question

The magnification for a certain position of an object is found to be –1.5. What can you say about the size of the image?

  1. It is smaller than the object
  2. Its size first increases then decreases
  3. It is greater than the object
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

It is greater than the object

The correct answer is: It is greater than the object


    when the magnification is -1.5, it implies that image size is 1.5 times than the actual object size but is inverted.
