If a concave  lens has  focal length of 15 cm then the  distance of that object from the lens such that it forms an image  at 10 cm from the  lens is calculated as follows: 
begin mathsize 12px style straight u space colon negative space the space object space distance straight v space colon negative space the space image space distance straight f space colon negative the space focal space length space of space straight a space lens the space lense space equation space is 1 over straight v minus 1 over straight u equals 1 over straight f As space the space lens space is space concave comma space the space image space so space formed space is space always space virual comma space therefore space apostrophe straight v apostrophe space is space negative. Also comma space the space focal space length space of space straight a space concave space lens space is space negative. minus 1 over 10 minus 1 over straight u equals negative 1 over 15 minus 1 over straight u equals negative 1 over 15 plus 1 over 10 1 over straight u equals fraction numerator negative 10 plus 15 over denominator 150 end fraction equals 5 over 150 equals 1 over 30 straight u equals negative 30 space cm end style
The magnification of lens is
