Question

An object is 6.0 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm.Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image. in cm

Answer 1

As we know that

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_0} = \frac{1}{f}$

here we know that

$d_0 = 6 cm$

$f = 10 cm$

now from above equation we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{10}$

$d_i = -15 cm$

so image will form on left side of lens at a distance of 15 cm

This image will be magnified and virtual image
