Question

Find the power of convex lens which forms a real and inverted image of magnification – ½ of an object placed at a distance of 20 cm from its optical centre.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Given magnification m=−1 and object distance u=−20cm

We know magnification m=

u

−v

v=−mu=(−1)(−20)=20cm

Now from lens formula we have,
