Physics Question on Ray optics and optical instruments
An object is placed on the principal axis of convex lens of focal length 10cm as shown A plane mirror is placed on the other side of lens at a distance of 20cm The image produced by the plane mirror is 5cm inside the mirror The distance of the object from the lens is ___cm
Answer
The correct answer is 30.
f=10cm
v1−u1=f1
151−−u1=101
⇒u1=101−151
On solving we get value of u as 30cm.
