Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

A concave lens is a diverging lens, so it will always have a negative focal length. Image distance is always negative for a concave lens because it forms virtual images.

From the lens formula;

1/f = 1/u+ 1/v

- 1/2 = 1/3 - 1/v

1/v = 1/3 + 1/2

v= 6/5

v= 1.2 cm

Magnification = image distance/object distance

Magnification = 1.2cm/3cm

Magnification = 0.4
