Question 1 Report

The distance between an object and its real image in a convex lens is 40cm. If the magnification of the image is 3, calculate the focal length of the lens
Answer Details

u + v = 40

v u  = 3

v = 3u

u + 3u = 40

4u = 40

u = 10cm

v = 3u = 30cm

f =  u v u + v = 10 ( 30 ) 10 + 30 = 300 40

= 7.5 cm
