An object is 20 cm to the left of a thin diverging lens having a focal length of . We have to find where the image is formed.
|
Solution: Click For PDF Version The thin lens equation is, where is the object distance, is the image distance and f is the focal length.
Therefore,
As the image distance is negative, in the sign convention it is in the V-side of the lens, and therefore is to the left of the lens. |
