An object 2.0 cm high is placed 20cm from a converging lens of focal length 15cm. Calculate the height of the image formed.

  • A. 2.67 cm
  • B. 3.00cm
  • C. 6.00cmCorrect
  • D. 60.00cm

Explanation

Using 1/v = 1/f + 1/u (sign convention): 1/v = 1/15-1/20 = 1/60, so v=60cm. Magnification = 60/20 = 3. Image height = 3x2 = 6.00cm.
