CAPE Physics Unit 1 · 2002 · Paper 2 · Question 6(d)(ii)

An overhead projector lens has a focal length of 35 cm. The image of a transparency is formed 2 m from the lens, with a total path length from lens to screen of 2.0 m.

What is the magnifying power of the lens and how does this affect image formed?
