Question

to increase the magnification of an image with a magnifying glass, you can a. shorten the focal length of the lens. b. elongate the focal length of the lens. c. place the object on top of the lens. d. shorten the distance between the object and the lens as much as possible

Answer 1

The answer is a. shorten the focal length of the lens. Hence you want to get closer to the image with the focal point in order to magnify whatever you are observing.

Answer 2

Answer;

a. shorten the focal length of the lens.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Magnification is the ratio of the image height to the object height, which is closely related to the ratio of the image distance to the object distance. A magnifying glass is a convex lens that is used to produce a magnified image of an object. Magnifying power is how much larger a given lens can make an image appear. This is a direct relationship between the focal length of the lens and the least distance of distinct vision

-Shortening the focal length of the lens increases the magnification of an image with a magnifying glass.
