Question

If the numerical value of magnification is greater than 1, then:

• A. The height of the image is less than the height of the object.
• B. The height of the image is more than the height of the object.
• C. The height of the image is equal to the height of the object.
• D. No relationship can be established between the height of the object and image.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The height of the image is more than the height of the object.

Given:
Magnification, $m>1$

By definition, magnification:
$m=\frac{\text{Height of the image}}{\text{Height of the object}}$
$⟹\frac{\text{Height of the image}}{\text{Height of the object}}>1$

Hence, height of image is more than the height of the object.
