An object 1m tall is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens and its 40 cm tall image is formed on the screen at a distance of 70 cm from the object. Calculate the focal length of the lens.

Expert Answer
Since the image is formed on the screen, image is real and inverted.
Given that,
h = 1 m = 100 cm
h' = -40 cm
u + v = 70 cm
Let u = -x v = 70 - x
focal length F = ?
Magnification m = h'/h = v/u
m = -40/100 = (70 - x)/(-x)
40x = 7000 - 100x
x = 50 cm
u = -x = -50 cm
v = 70 - x = 70 -50 = 20 cm
Substituting the values of u and v in the lens formula,
1/v - 1/u = 1/f
1/20 - 1/(-50) = 1/f
1/20 + 1/50 = 1/f
70/1000 = 1/f
f = 100/7
f = 14.3 cm
Hence the focal length of the lens is 14.3 cm.
