Homework Statement
The wing of an insect is 1.7 mm long. When viewed through a microscope, the image is 1.4 m long and is located 5.9 m away. Determine the angular magnification.
Homework Equations
di/do=hi/ho
M=beta/alpha
alpha=object size/object distance
beta=image size/image distance
The Attempt at a Solution
di/do=hi/ho
5.9/do=1.4/0.0017
do=0.00716
alpha=0.0017/0.00716=0.237
beta=1.4/5.9=0.237
M=1
This answer is wrong. Can anyone please point out the mistake.
