Answer

0.1875

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Identify the given values.

    The object distance (uu) is 40 cm40 \text{ cm}.
    The image distance (vv) is 7.5 cm7.5 \text{ cm}.

  2. State the formula for magnification.

    The magnification (MM) for a pinhole camera is given by the ratio of the image distance to the object distance:

    M=vuM = \frac{v}{u}
  3. Substitute the given values into the formula.

    M=7.5 cm40 cmM = \frac{7.5 \text{ cm}}{40 \text{ cm}}
  4. Calculate the magnification.

    M=0.1875M = 0.1875

    The magnification is a dimensionless quantity.

    The final answer is 0.1875.
