Question
At what distance should an object be placed from a convex lens of focal length 18 cm to obtain an image at 24 cm from it on the other side? What will be the magnification produced in this case?
Solution
Given:
F length, f = 18 cm
I distance,v = 24 cm
Png these values in lens formula, we get:
1- 1/u = 1/f
o/u = 1/v-1/f
o1/u = 1/24-1/18 =-(1/72)
o =-72 cm
T the object should be placed at a distance of 72 cm from the lens.
N
Mfication, m = v /u = 24/ (-72) =-(1/3)

For a plane mirror, magnification m = ______.
A negative sign in the value of magnification indicates that the image is ______.
Assertion: The focal length of the mirror is /and the distance of the object from the focus is V then the magnification of the mirror will be `("f"/"f−u")`
Reason: Magnification = `"image distance"/ "object distance"` = `(-"v"/"u")`
