Answer

$d_i=0.67m$ $M=-0.33$

Work Step by Step

We can find the image location as $d_i=(\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{d_{\circ}})^{-1}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d_i=(\frac{1}{0.50}-\frac{1}{2.0})^{-1}$ $d_i=0.67m$ Now the magnification is given as $M=-\frac{d_i}{d_{\circ}}$ $\implies M=-\frac{1}{2.0}(\frac{1}{0.50}-\frac{1}{2.0})^{-1}$ $M=-0.33$
