Question

A 6 cm object is 15 cm from a convex lens that has a focal length of 5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the lens, to the nearest hundredth? –33.33 cm –7.50 cm 7.50 cm 33.33 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

7.50 cm

Explanation:

The formula

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Is used.

where.

u is the object distance.

v is the image distance.

f is the focal length of the lens.

1/v + 1/15 = 1/5

1/v = 1/5 - 1/15

1/v = (3-1)/15

1/v = 2/15

2v = 15

V = 15/2

V = 7.5 cm

For focal length, f in lens is always taken as negative for concave and positive for convex. ... And for image distance, V in lens it is taken as positive in Convex lens since image is formed on +X side. It is taken as negative in Concave lens since image is formed in -X side of the Cartesian.
