MCAT Question A Day - 9/8/13 - Answer!

What is the magnification of a lens that forms an image 20 cm to its right when a real object is placed 10 cm to its left?

A.  0.50
B.  1.0
C.  1.5
D.  22.0


The correct answer is (D). Magnification is given by M = -q/p = -20 cm/10 cm = -2.0. The sign of q is positive because the image is real. The negative value of M means the image is inverted.
