Simple Microscope Problem that I have been STUCK on!
How far from a lens of focal length 50 mm must the object be placed if it is to form a virtual image magnified in size by a factor of 3?
I thought I could us the equation...
M = s'-f/f to get s' and then use...
1/f = 1/s + 1/s' to get the object distance
but I am not coming up with the right answer??
