Expert Answer
(a) Position of object, height of object and image are 16 cm, 2 cm and 3 cm respectively.
m = h'/h
In this, height of image will be taken negative as it is a real image.
So,
m = -3/2 = -1.5,
Also, m = -v/u
Therefore, -1.5 = -v/(u)
v = -1.5 x 16 = -24 cm
(b) Focal length
u = -16 cm, v = -24 cm, focal length, f = ?
1/v+1/u = 1/f
-1/24 + (-1/16) = 1/f
-5/48 = 1/f
f = -9.6 cm
