Dear student,
ā Answer -
u = -40 cm
ā Explanation -
# Given -
h2/h1 = 1/3
f = 20 cm
# Solution -
Magnification by comvex lens is given by -
M = h2/h1 = -v/u
1/3 = -v/u
v = -u/3
According to lens formula -
1/f = 1/u + 1/v
1/20 = 1/u - 3/u
u = -40 cm
Therefore, object is 40 cm from optical centre of lens.
Hope this helped...
