The image distance of an object placed at a distance of 2f from a converging lens of focal length f can be found using the lens formula: 1/f = 1/v - 1/u where f is the focal length of the lens, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance. Since the object is placed at a distance of 2f, u = 2f. Substituting these values in the lens formula, we get: 1/f = 1/v - 1/2f Multiplying both sides by 2f, we get: 2 - f/f = v Simplifying this equation, we get: v = 2f Therefore, the image distance of an object placed at a distance of 2f from a converging lens of focal length f is 2f.
