A converging lens forms a real image at a distance of 15 cm . Find the position of object of the focal length of the lens is 10 cm . Also, find the magnification. State the charecteristics of the image formed.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Given:v= 15 cm (REAL image )
f = 10 cm (Convex lens )
To find : Object DISTANCE (U)
Magnificaion (M)
Characterication of the image
Solution:`1/v - 1/u = 1/f `
`1/15 - 1/u = 1/10`
`therefroe"" 1/u = 1/15 - 1/10`
`1/u = (2-3)/(30)`
`1/u = -1/30 `
u = -30
`therefore` Distance of the image = 30 cm
Magnification (M)
= `v/u = 15/-30 = -0.5`
` therefore` Magnification = 0.5
The NEGATIVE sign indicates the image formed is real. The image formed will be rea, inverted and diminished.
