The distance between object and its 3 times magnified virtual image as produced by a convex lens is 20 cm . The focal length of the lens used is ________ cm .

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

The image will be formed on the same side as the object. Therefore, v = 3 u Given: v – u = 20 cm ⇒ 2 u = 20 cm ⇒ u = - 10 cm (-ve sign as the object is real) From lens formula, we can write 1 ( - 30 ) - 1 ( - 10 ) = 1 f ⇒ f = 15 cm
