A biconvex lens has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20 ~cm . Which one of the following options describe best the image formed of an object of height 2 ~cm placed 30 ~cm from the lens?
Options
- AVirtual, upright, height =0.5 ~cm
- BReal, inverted, height =4 ~cm
- CReal, inverted, height =1 ~cm
- DVirtual, upright, height =1 ~cm
Correct answer
B. Real, inverted, height =4 ~cm
Step-by-step solution
In general we have assumed =1.5 So, f=20 ~cm aligned 1 f & = 1 y + 1 u 1 20 & = 1 y + 1 30 1 y & = 1 20 - 1 30 = 10 600 y & =60 ~cm h_i h₀ & =2 h_i & =2 h_o h_i & =4 ~cm aligned Here, Image is real, inverted, magnified field and height of image is 4 ~cm .
