1. Learn the formula
1/Do + 1/Di = 1/f
Then use it.
In this case Do = object distance = 10 cm
Di = image distance = 25 cm.
Solve for f
2. Do = 28
Di = -56
The magnification is 2 = |Di/Do|
Di is negative for an upright image.
Solve for f
Use the same equation as part 1 to solve for f.
1/Do + 1/Di = 1/f
Then use it.
In this case Do = object distance = 10 cm
Di = image distance = 25 cm.
Solve for f
2. Do = 28
Di = -56
The magnification is 2 = |Di/Do|
Di is negative for an upright image.
Solve for f
Use the same equation as part 1 to solve for f.
