Question
The photograph of a house occupies an area of 1.75 cm2on a 35 mm slide. The slide is projected on to a screen, and the area of the house on the screen is 1.55 m2. What is the linear magnification of the projector-screen arrangement?

Solution
Area of the house on the slide = 1.75 cm2
Area of the image of the house formed on the screen = 1.55 × 104 cm2
Arial magnification, ma =` "Area of image"/"Area of object" = (1.55 xx 10^4)/1.75 `
= 8857.14
∴ Linear magnifications, `m_l = sqrtm_a`
=`sqrt(8857.14)` = 94.11

Precise measurements of physical quantities are a need of science. For example, to ascertain the speed of an aircraft, one must have an accurate method to find its positions at closely separated instants of time. This was the actual motivation behind the discovery of radar in World War II. Think of different examples in modern science where precise measurements of length, time, mass etc. are needed. Also, wherever you can, give a quantitative idea of the precision needed.
