The graph in shows the variation of image distance (v) with object distance (u) in case of a lens. Find focal length of the lens. What is the nature of the lens, if image formed is real ?

Verified by Experts

As the image formed is real, the lens must be convex.
From the graph,
when `|u| = 20 cm, |v| = 20 cm`
`:. u = -20cm, v = +20cm`
`(1)/(f) = (1)/(v) - (1)/(u) = (1)/(20) + (1)/(20) = (1)/(10)`
`f = 10 cm`
