To calculate the magnification produced by the lens, we will use the formula:
ext{magnification} = rac{ ext{image height}}{ ext{object height}}
Identify the values for image height and object height.
Let's assume that we have an image height of 10 cm and an object height of 5 cm (these values should be obtained from context or given data).
Substitute the values into the equation:
ext{magnification} = rac{10 ext{ cm}}{5 ext{ cm}} = 2

Thus, the magnification produced by the lens is 2. T h u s , t h e ma g ni f i c a t i o n p ro d u ce d b y t h e l e n s i s 2.

As the object is moved further away from the lens, the size of the image will decrease . This is because as distance increases, the image produced by the lens also tends to become smaller.
