Object placed at 8 cm mark,
Real image formed at 92 cm mark,
Converging lens is placed at 50 cm mark
This implies that:
Object distance, u = - 42 cm
Image distance, v = + 42 cm
- Focal length, f =?
According to lens formula:
$\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{42}- \frac{1}{-42} = \frac{1}{f}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{42} + \frac{1}{42} = \frac{2}{42} = \frac{1}{21}$
$\therefore f = + \text{ 21 cm}$
-
$f = \text{ + 21 cm,}$
Object position is at 29 cm
$\Rightarrow u = - \text{21 cm}$
$v = ?$
$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} + \frac{1}{u}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{21} + \frac{1}{-21}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1 - 1}{21}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v} = \frac{0}{21}$
$\therefore v = \frac{21}{0}$
$\Rightarrow v = \frac{21}{0} = \infty$
So image is formed at infinity.
- If the object is further shifted towards the lens then a virtual, erect and magnified image will be formed behind the object.
