Knowns The object distance dod_o is related with the image distance did_i through

1do+1di=1f\begin{align*} \frac{1}{d_o}+\frac{1}{d_i}=\frac{1}{f} \tag{1} \end{align*}

where ff is the focal length.

The magnification mm is defined as

m=hiho=dido\begin{align*} m=\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-\frac{d_i}{d_o} \tag{2} \end{align*}

where hoh_o is the object height and hih_i is the image height.
