A diverging lens of focal length 10cm is placed 10cm in front of a plane mirror as shown in Fig. Light from a very far away source falls on the lens. What is the distance of final image?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D


Final image (by lens ) object `I_(2)`
u = -30, f=-10
`v = (uf)/(u+f) = (300)/(-30-10) = (300)/(-40) = -7.5`
`therefore` 2.5 cm in front of mirror.
