Given:
Converging lens or Convex lens should be used by the user to project the image of candle on the wall as he wants it to be three times magnified.
Reason:
In Convex lens, when object is placed between F and C , the image will be formed beyond C .
Nature of Image :
--> magnified, real and inverted.
2) hi=3ho
Image distance= object distance + 6
v=6+u
we know that magnification=m=v/u
m=v/u
-3=v/u[since image is magnifed three times ]
-3=6+u/u
-3u=6+u
4u=-6
u=-6/4
u=-1.5 m
v=6-(-1.5)
v=7.5m
by using lens formula,
1/f =1/v-1/u
1/7.5 +1/1.5=1/f
10/75+10/15=1/f
10+50/ 75=1/f
∴ f=75/60=1.25m
Thus, Focal length of a given convex lens is 1.25m

sol:
Here m= -3
as image is formed on the wall balance must be converging
m= v/u
putting m=3 in this equation
v= 3u
as candle flame is at distance of 6m from the wall
u+v= 6
as we know that v= 3
putting the value of v in eqn.........
u+3u =6
4u = 6
u= 6/4
u= 1.5
as we know that v=3u
putting the value of u in this equation
v= 3×1.5
= 4.5m
using proper sign convention
here,
u= -1.5m,
v= +4.5m
as we know that the mirror formula,
1/f = 1/v + 1/u
putting the value of v, and u in this equation
=1/4.5 - 1/-1.5
=1 +3/4.5
= 4/ 4.5
f=4.5/4
=1.125m
Here m= -3
as image is formed on the wall balance must be converging
m= v/u
putting m=3 in this equation
v= 3u

u+v= 6

=1/4.5 - 1/-1.5
=1 +3/4.5
= 4/ 4.5
f=4.5/4
=1.125m
