Answer:
0.25
Explanation:
Magnification = image distance/object distance
mag = v/u.................. Equation 1
Given: f = -10 cm ( diverging lens) u = 30 cm.
Where can calculate for the value of v using
1/f = 1/u+1/v
make v the subject of the equation
v = fv/(u-f)..................... Equation 2
Substitute into equation 2
v = -30(10)/(30+10)
v = -300/40
v = -7.5 cm.
substituting into equation 1,
mag = 7.5/30
mag = 0.25
hence the magnification of the wretch = 0.25
