उत्तर

Given: Height of the object (h1) = 5 cm,
focal length (f) = 10 cm,
distance of the object (u) = –20 cm

To find: Image distance (v), height of the image (h2), magnification (M)

Formulae: 

  1. `1/"v" - 1/"u" = 1/"f"`
  2. Magnification (M) = `"h"_2/"h"_1 = "v"/"u"`

Calculation: From formula (i),

`1/"v" = 1/"u" + 1/"f"`

∴ `1/"v" = 1/(-20) + 1/10`

∴ `1/"v" = (- 1 + 2)/20`

∴ `1/"v" = 1/20`

∴ v = 20 cm

From formula (ii),

`"h"_2 = "v"/"u" xx "h"_1`

∴ `"h"_2 = 20/(- 20) xx 5`

∴ `"h"_2 = (- 1) xx 5`

∴ `"h"_2` = - 5 cm

∴ M = `"v"/"u" = 20/(-20)` = - 1

The negative sign of the height of the image and the magnification shows that the image is inverted and real. It is below the principal axis and is of the same size as the object.
