Question

When the height of the image is less than the height of the object, then magnification will be

• A. Less than $1$
• B. Greater than $1$
• C. Equal to $1$
• D. Zero

Answer 1

The correct option is A Less than $1$

Magnification, $m=\frac{h_1}{h_0}=\frac{(<h_0)}{h_0}<1$.
When magnification is smaller than one, the size of image is smaller than that of object, i.e., the image is diminished.
