Answer:
Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm
Magnification of apple=0.33
Explanation:
We are given that an apple is placed 20.cm in front of a diverging lens.
Object distance=u=-20 cm
Focal length=f=-10 cm
Because focal length of diverging lens is negative.
We have to find the image distance and magnification of the apple.
Lens formula
Substitute the values then we get
Image distance of apple=-6.7 cm
Magnification=m=
Magnification of apple=
Hence, the magnification of apple=0.33
