Question

If magnification is equal to one, it means

• A. Image is smaller than object
• B. Image is larger than object
• C. Image is of the same size as that of object
• D. Image is point size

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem, we need to understand what it means when the magnification of an image is equal to one.

1. Understanding Magnification:
Magnification (M) is defined as the ratio of the height of the image (h_i) to the height of the object (h_o):

\[ M = \frac{h_i}{h_o} \]

2. If Magnification = 1:
This means:
\[ \frac{h_i}{h_o} = 1 \Rightarrow h_i = h_o \]
So, the image is of the same size as the object.

Final Answer:
The correct answer is option (C): Image is of the same size as that of object.
