You are passing a ray of light through a thin tank of alcohol to determine properties. Assume that the light ray is not effected by the tank's exterior. You find that if a piece of white paper is put underneath the alcohol tank, there is an image on the metal.

Assuming that the image is the size of and is actually a picture of a tree of size . What can we say about the magnification of this alcohol solution?

2
