Question

What do you mean by linear magnification?

Answer 1

1. The ratio of the height of the image and the ratio of the height of the object is known as linear magnification.
2. Linear magnification can be written as $\mathrm{m}=\frac{{\mathrm{h}}_{\mathrm{i}}}{{\mathrm{h}}_{\mathrm{o}}}$.
3. Here, $\mathrm{m}$ is linear magnification, ${\mathrm{h}}_{\mathrm{i}}$ is the height of the image and ${\mathrm{h}}_{\mathrm{o}}$ is the height of the object.
