at what distance should an object be placed from a convex lens of focal length 18 cm to obtain an image at 36 cm from it what will be the magnification produced in this case​

Answer»

Given:

The FOCAL length of the LENS (f) is 18 cm

Distance of the image (V) = 36 cm

To be found

Distance of the object (u) = ?

Magnification produced (m) = ?

Now,

From the lens formula

\boxed{\boxed{\sf \frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}}}

\implies \boxed{\tt \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{f} }

So,

\implies \tt \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{36} -\frac{1}{18}

\implies \tt \frac{1}{u}=\frac{1-2}{36}

\implies \tt \frac{1}{u}=\frac{-1}{36}

So, u = -36 cm

∴ So, the distance of the object (u) = -36 cm

Now,

If u = -36

Then, we will find the magnification,

\sf m = \frac{-v}{u} =\frac{-36}{-36} = \boxed{1}

m = 1 so, the image is virtual and erect.

  • More Information:

When the SIGN of the magnification is (- ve) then the image is real and inverted.

And

When the sign of the magnification is (+ ve) then the image is virtual and erect.
