A convex lens of focal length 20 cm produces a real image at distance 60 cm. The object is at:
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. Use lens formula 1/v - 1/u = 1/f (note sign convention for lenses).
2. v = +60 cm, f = +20 cm. So 1/u = 1/v - 1/f = 1/60 - 1/20 = (1-3)/60 = -2/60.
3. u = -30 cm, i.e. 30 cm in front of the lens.
