    Question

    A concave lens has a focal length 15 cm. If the object

    is placed at 30 cm from the lens, what is the image distance?
    A -20 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B -10 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C -15 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D -18 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    focal length f = -15 cm Distance of object u = -30 cm 1/ v = 1/f +1/u substituting these values in the lens equation we get, 1/v =1/-15 +1/-30 1/v =-3/30 v = -10cm Hence, the distance of the object from the lens is 10 cm and the negative sign signifies a virtual image.
