Problem

An object is initially placed at a distance of 2∣f∣2|f| from a thin concave lens and is then moved straight toward the lens until it is ∣f∣/2|f|/2 from the lens. Describe how the magnitude of the magnification changes during this motion (increase, decrease, or remain constant) and briefly explain your reasoning.
