Question

determine the focal length of double concave lens that produce an image that is 16 cm behind the lens when the object is 28.5 CM from the lens

Answer 1

Consider variables u = object distance (in cm), v= image distance (in cm)

Given,

-u + v = 100 ......eq (1)

Magnification = v /u = -3 (real and inverted image)

v = -3u ........eq (2)

Focal length 1/f = 1/v - 1/u ......eq (3)

Substitute eq (2) in eq (1), we get u = -25 cm

eq (2) v = -3 u = - 3 *- 25 = 75 cm

Substitute eq (2) in eq (3), we get f = - 3 u/4 = -3 * -25/4 = 18.75 cm.

Answer 2

Here is your answer.
