Answer

The height of the image is $~~3.0~mm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the location of the image: $\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'} = \frac{1}{f}$ $\frac{1}{s'} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ $\frac{1}{s'} = \frac{1}{0.015~m} - \frac{1}{10~m}$ $\frac{1}{s'} = 66.57~m^{-1}$ $s' = 0.015~m$ $s' = 15~mm$ We can find the height of the image: $h' = M~h$ $h' = (-\frac{s'}{s})(h)$ $h' = (-\frac{0.015~m}{10~m})(2.0~m)$ $h' = -0.0030~m$ $h' = -3.0~mm$ The height of the image is $~~3.0~mm$
