Magnification Rechner — Formel

Optical Magnification

Magnification describes the ratio of image size to object size.

Formula

M = -d_i / d_o = h_i / h_o

Negative M means the image is inverted. M> 1 means the image is enlarged;M < 1 means it is reduced.

Lösungsbeispiel

Image at 15 cm, object at 30 cm.

  1. M = -di / do
  2. M = -15 / 30
  3. M = -0.5
  4. The image is inverted and half the size of the object.
