An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from the lens its image is formed at a distance of 10 cm on the same side of the lens.
TO FIND
Find the focal length and name the lens used
SOLUTIOn
(★) In convex lens, when object kept between focus and optical centre then image will formed on same side of lens as the object
Nature of image
- Nature = Virtual and erect
- Size = Enlarge
- Position = Same side of lens as the object
Now,
- Object distance (u) = - 30cm
- Image distance (v) = + 10cm
- Focal length (f) = ?
Apply lens formula
Hence, the focal length of convex lens is
+ 7.5cm
An Object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from the lens its image is formed at a distance of 10 cm on the same side of the lens
- Nature = Virtual and erect
- Size = Enlarge
- Position = Same side of lens as the object
In a convex lens when object kept between focus and optical centre then image will formed on same side of lens as the object
Therefore
Object distance (u) = - 30cm
Image distance (v) = + 10cm
Focal length (f) = ?
