What is meant by the magnification produced by a lens State the formulae for it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The magnification (M) produced by a lens is the ratio of the height of the image (`h_(2)`) to the height of the object `(h_(1)`).
`M=(h_(2))/(h_(1))`
Also `, M=(v"(image distance)")/(u "(object distance)")`
