Homework Statement
A camera lens has focal length 55mm and an object is 500mm away. Calculate the position of the image and the magnification (or reduction)
Homework Equations
1/u + 1/v = 1/f
u = Object Distance
v = Image Distance
f = focal length
m = magnification
The Attempt at a Solution
f = 55
u = 500
1/500 + 1/v = 1/55
1/55 - 1/500 = 1/v
55-1 - 500 -1 = 0.01618
ANS-1 = 61.79 so approximately 62mm
v/u = m
62/500 = 0.124M
Did I go with the right approach? Any help would be great.
