Problem 89GP
When an object is placed 60.0 cm from a certain converging lens, it forms a real image. When the object is moved to 40.0 cm from the lens, the image moves 10.0 cm farther from the lens. Find the focal length of this lens.
ANSWER:
Solution 89GP:
We have to find the focal length of the lens using the given data.
Step 1 of 3
Concept:
The point where the incident parallel rays come to a focus after reflection is called the focal point of the lens. The distance from the center of the len to the focal point is called focal length, denoted by .
Distance of the object is measured by using the lens equation, which is given as below:
…(A)
Here, Distance of the object from the optical center
Distance of the image from the optical center
