If the magnification of a virtual image formed by an object 10cm from a convex less is 3, then the focal length of the lens is
-
A.
10cm
-
B.
20cm
-
C.
25cm
-
D.
15cm
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
M = \(\frac{v}{u}\) = 3 = \(\frac{v}{30}\). V = 30m
\(\frac{1}{u}\) + \(\frac{1}{v}\) = \(\frac{1}{f}\) = \(\frac{1}{10}\) - \(\frac{1}{30}\) = \(\frac{1}{f}\)
\(\frac{3 - 1}{30}\) = \(\frac{1}{f}
f = \(\frac{30}{2}\) = 15cm
