An object 3.0cm high is placed 60.0cm from a converging lens whose focal length is 20.0cm. Calculate the size of the image formed
-
A.
0.5cm
-
B.
1.5cm
-
C.
2.0cm
-
D.
6.0cm
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
F = \(\frac{UV}{U + V}\)
20 = \(\frac{60 \times V}{60 + V}\)
V = 30cm
similarly, \(\frac{U}{V}\) = \(\frac{\text{height of object}}{\text{height of image}}\)
\(\frac{60}{30}\) = \(\frac{3}{h}\)
h = 1.5cm
