Question

Optic axis of a equiconvex lens is the x - axis. The coordinates of a point object and its image are (-40 cm, 1cm) and (50 cm, -2 cm) respectively. lens is located at -

Options

A.x = + 20 cm
B.x = - 30 cm
C.x =  -10 cm
D.origin

Solution


m = = - 2 =  ⇒  | v | = | 2u |
(90 - u) = 2 u ⇒ u = 30 cm
Hence lens location = - 40 + 30 = - 10 cm
