Expert Answer
Given that the power of the lens, P= 4D
Therefore the focal length of the lens, f = 1/ 4 =0.25 m = 25 cm
Given that the image distance, v = 40 cm
According to lens formula:
So the candle should be placed at a distance of 66.67 cm from the lens so as to form an image on the wall.
According to sign convention:
The distance measured from the optical centre to the left side are taken as negative, hence the object distance, u will be negative.
On the other hand the distance measured from optical centre of the lens to the right side are taken as positive.As the image is formed to the right side of the lens on the wall, the image distance,v is taken positive.
