Answer:
Question: If an object is placed at a distance of f/2 from a concavex lens. The image will be? (CPMT - 1997)
 
Solution:
 
begin mathsize 12px style We space know space that comma
1 over straight v minus 1 over straight u equals 1 over straight f
It space is space given space that space straight u equals negative straight f over 2 space... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis
Therefore comma space
1 over straight v minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator begin display style negative straight f over 2 end style end fraction equals fraction numerator begin display style 1 end style over denominator begin display style straight f end style end fraction
fraction numerator begin display style 1 end style over denominator begin display style straight v end style end fraction equals fraction numerator begin display style 1 end style over denominator begin display style straight f end style end fraction minus 2 over straight f
fraction numerator begin display style 1 end style over denominator begin display style straight v end style end fraction equals negative fraction numerator begin display style 1 end style over denominator begin display style straight f end style end fraction
straight v equals negative straight f space space space... left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis
Magnification space left parenthesis straight m right parenthesis equals straight v over straight u equals fraction numerator negative straight f over denominator begin display style fraction numerator negative straight f over denominator 2 end fraction end style end fraction equals 2
end style
Therefore, the image is virtual and double the size.
So the right option is
(D) at one of the foci virtual and double size.
