उत्तर
Given:
Focal length (f) = 20 cm,
object distance (u) = – 10 cm,
height of the object (h1) = 5 cm
To find: Image distance (v), height of the image (h2)
Formula:
- `1/"f" = 1/"v" - 1/"u"`
- `"h"_2/"h"_1 = "v"/"u"`
Calculation:
From the formula,
`1/20 = 1/"v" - 1/(- 10)`
∴ `1/ "v" = 1/20 - 1/10`
`= (1 - 2)/20`
∴ `1/"v" = - 1/20`
∴ v = -20 cm
As the image distance is negative, the image formed is virtual and on the same side of the lens as that of the object.
From formula (ii),
`"h"_2/5 = (- 20)/- 10`
∴ `"h"_2 = 20/10 xx 5`
∴ h2 = 10 cm
The positive sign indicates that the image formed is erect.
