Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnification equation needs to be used, which has the following formula: h_i/ h_o = - d_i/ d_o Where: h_iis the image height h_ois the object height d_ois the object distance d_iis the image distance. Solve for image height: h_i/ h_o = - d_i/ d_o h_i/ 6 cm = - 4.5 cm/ 1.5 cm h_i/ 6 cm = - 3 h_i = - 18 cm The negative means the image is inverted.
