Question
SITUATION 01. A physicist measure the magnification factor of a certain
plain mirror by putting a candle in front of it. He then obtained data for his
analysis. The Image Distance was recorded to be 15 cm, and the Object
distance was recorded to be 7.50 cm. Compute the magnification factor.
