An object is placed 20.0cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 15.0cm. Calculate its image distance
Answer Details
The formula to calculate the image distance for a converging lens is:
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
where f is the focal length of the lens, do is the distance of the object from the lens, and di is the distance of the image from the lens.
Substituting the given values:
1/15 = 1/20 + 1/di
Simplifying and solving for di:
di = 60 cm
Therefore, the image distance is 60.0cm.
Answer: Option D.
