The image is inverted and virtual.
It means that the pre-image and image are on opposite sides of the centre of magnification.
it would be 15 times 40 which is 600 times magnification
One can calculate the total magnification of a microscope by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece by the magnification of the main scope. For a compound microscope one must multiply each eye piece magnification.
LED's are DC voltage. Transformers are AC voltage. There is no positive or negative on AC voltage. You would need a diode to change the AC to DC, then there would be positive and negative voltages.
A micron is a measure of distance while magnification is a pure number which represents how much bigger the image of an object will be. 1000 magnification of 1 micron is 1 millimetre. 1000 magnification of 10 micron is 10 millimetres. 1000 magnification of 1 metre is 10 kilometres. 1000 magnification of 1 nanometre is 1 micrometre (micron).
Negative 2 does not correspond to 5 in any way. Negative 5 might be seen as a mirror image of 5 on the number line, but negative 2 has no correlation to 5.
In the sign convention for magnification, a concave lens produces a negative magnification, indicating that the image is virtual, upright, and smaller than the object. Conversely, a convex lens can produce either positive or negative magnification depending on the object's position; it yields a positive magnification for real and inverted images when the object is beyond the focal point and a negative magnification for virtual and upright images when the object is within the focal length.
It means that the pre-image and image are on opposite sides of the centre of magnification.
Positive.Positive.Positive.Positive.
Negative magnification typically occurs when the image produced by an optical system appears inverted relative to the object being viewed. This happens when the image is smaller than the object, indicating that the image is reduced in size relative to the object. Negative magnification is common in situations where a concave lens or diverging mirror is used.
A concave lens produces a virtual image with a negative magnification. This means that the image is smaller than the actual object and appears on the same side as the object.
The magnification of a concave mirror is not always positive; it depends on the position of the object relative to the mirror's focal point. When the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror, the magnification is positive, indicating an upright and virtual image. However, when the object is beyond the center of curvature, the magnification is negative, indicating an inverted and real image. Thus, the magnification can be both positive and negative based on the object's location.
Oh, dude, when magnification is negative, it just means the image is inverted. Like, if you're looking at something through a microscope and the magnification is negative, it's basically like flipping the image upside down. So, yeah, it's still an image, just a little topsy-turvy, but no big deal.
The magnification equation for a convex mirror is given by: M = -1 / (1 - d/f), where M is the magnification, d is the object distance, and f is the focal length of the mirror. The negative sign indicates that the image formed is virtual and upright.
The magnification equation for a concave mirror is given by the formula: M = - (image distance) / (object distance), where M is the magnification, image distance is the distance from the mirror to the image, and object distance is the distance from the mirror to the object. Negative magnification indicates an inverted image.
That little line sticking out on the left side of the '15' means it's a negative.
Positive would be more magnification, and negative would be less magnification. * * * * * No. M > 1 indicates that the image is bigger than the pre-image (and on the same side of the centre of magnification); 0 < M < 1 indicates that the image is smaller than the pre-image (and on the same side of the centre of magnification); -1 < M < 0 indicates that the image is smaller than the pre-image (and on the opposite side of the centre of magnification); M < -1 indicates that the image is larger than the pre-image (and on the opposite side of the centre of magnification). M = 0 means the image is point-sized and at the centre of magnification. M = 1 means the image coincides with the pre-image. M = -1 means that the image is the same size as the pre-image and on the opposite side.
