उत्तर

Object height, h = 4.25 mm = 0.425 cm (1 cm = 10 mm)
Object distance, u =-10 cm
Power, P = +5 D
Focal length, f = ?
Image distance, v = ?
Image height, h' = ?  

Power, P `=1/f` 

`f=1/p=1/5=0.2m =20cm ` 

Using the lens formula, we get: 

`1/v-1/u=1/f` 

`1/v-1/-10=1/20` 

`1/v+1/10=1/20` 

`1/v=1/20-1/10` 

`1/v=-1/20` 

∴ v=-20cm 

Now, magnification, m = `(h')/h=v/u` 

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get: 

`(h')/0.425=(-20)/-10` 

`h'=2X0.425=0.85cm=8.5mm` 

Thus, the image is 8.5 mm long; it is also erect and virtual.
