Question

A lens of focal length 12cm forms an

three times the size of the
to the object. The distance between the object and the image is what
​

Answer 1

b) 16 cm

Magnification, m = v/u

3 = v/u

⇒ v = 3u

Lens formula : 1/v – 1/u = 1/f

1/3u = 1/u = 1/12

-2/3u = 1/12

⇒ u = -8 cm

V = 3 × (-8) = -24

Distance between object and image = u – v = -8 – (-24) = -8 + 24 = 16 cm
