Question

An object is placed at 0.06m from a convex lens of focal length 0.1m . calculate the position of the image.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.15m or 15cm

Explanation:

Using lens formula 1/f=1/v-1/u, where f is focal length, u is object distance and v is image distance

Converting the metric to centimetres from metres=> f= 0.1m = 10cm and u= -0.06m = -6cm

Substituting the values in the formula:

1/v=1/f-1/u

= 1/10-1/6

= 3/30-5/30

= -2/30

v = -30/2

v = -15cm

or v = -0.15m

Therefore, the image will be formed at 0.15m from the lens towards the object.
