Question

    A lens forms an image of magnification -2. If the object

    A -30 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C -45 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Magnification (m) = -v / u -2 = -v / 15 v = 30 cm Since m is negative, the image is on the same side as the object, so the distance is -30 cm.
