Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Focal Length
The focal length of a lens is the distance from the lens to the focal point, where parallel rays of light converge. In this case, a focal length of 6.00 cm indicates that light rays entering the lens parallel to its axis will converge at a point 6.00 cm away from the lens. This property is crucial for understanding how lenses form images and magnify objects.

Angular Magnification
Angular magnification is a measure of how much larger an object appears when viewed through a lens compared to the naked eye. It is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended by the image at the eye to the angle subtended by the object at the same eye without the lens. For a simple magnifier, this concept helps quantify the lens's effectiveness in enlarging the apparent size of an object.

Simple Magnifier
A simple magnifier is a type of lens, typically a convex lens, used to produce a magnified image of an object. When the object is placed at or near the focal point of the lens, the lens creates a virtual image that appears larger than the object itself. Understanding how a simple magnifier works is essential for calculating the angular magnification and appreciating its practical applications in various fields.
