An object is placed on the principle axis of a concave lens of focal length 10 cm. The distance of the object from the lens is 15 cm. Find nature and position of the image

Expert Answer
We have lens equation :- (1/v) - (1/u) = 1/f
where v = lens-to-image distance
u = lens-to-object distance = -15 cm
f = focal length of concave lens = -10 cm
( Cartesian sign convention is followed)
Hence , we get , ( 1/v ) + ( 1/10 ) = ( -1/15 )
1/v = (-1/15) -(1/10) = -1/6
Hence v = - 6 cm
image is formed at a distance 6 cm from lens on the same side of object
Magnification m = v / u = (-6) / (-15 ) = 0.4
Image is diminished , erect and virtual
Schematic of ray diagram is given below
