To determine the nature of the image produced by a spherical lens when the magnification is +2.5, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Magnification Magnification (m) is defined as the ratio of the height of the image (h') to the height of the object (h). It can be expressed as: \[ m = \frac{h'}{h} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Sign of Magnification In optics, the sign of magnification indicates the nature of the image: ...
