A concave lens of focal length 15cm forms an image 10 cm from the lens. How far is the object placed from the lens? Draw ray diagram.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`h_(1)=12m= 1200cm, h_(2)= -12cm, u= -15m= -1500cm` v= ?
`m= (v)/(u)= (h_(2))/(h_(1))`
`(v)/(-1500)= (-12)/(1200)= - (1)/(100)`
`v= (1500)/(100)= 15cm`
So screen should be placed at a distance of 15cm from the pin hole.
