Final answer:

The image distance can be calculated using the lens formula. For the given object distance and focal length, the image distance is approximately 26.1 cm on the image side of the lens.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image distance can be calculated using the lens formula:

1/f = 1/do + 1/di

Where:

  • f is the focal length of the lens
  • do is the object distance
  • di is the image distance

Given that the object distance (do) is 14 cm and the focal length (f) is 19 cm, we can substitute these values into the lens formula to solve for the image distance (di).

Plugging in the values, we get:

1/19 = 1/14 + 1/di

By solving this equation, we find that the image distance (di) is approximately 26.1 cm.

Since the image distance is positive, the image is located on the opposite side of the lens from the object. Therefore, the image is 26.1 cm from the lens on the image side.
