Questions  

An object is placed 30 cm to the left of a diverging lens whose focal length is of magnitude 20 cm. Which one of the following correctly states the nature and position of the virtual image formed?

a
Nature of image: inverted, enlarged;  distance form lens: 60 cm to the right
b
Nature of image: erect, diminished;  distance form lens: 12 cm to the left
c
Nature of image: inverted, enlarged;  distance form lens: 60 cm to the left
d
Nature of image: erect, diminished;  distance form lens: 12 cm to the right

detailed solution

Correct option is B

When an object is placed between 2 f and f (focal length) of the diverging lens, the image is virtual, erect and diminished as shown in the graph. To compute the distance of the image from the lens, we apply1f=1v−1u⇒1−20=1v−130⇒v=−203020+30= - 12 cm (to the left of the diverging lens.)
