JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments

An object is placed at the focus of concave lens having focal length \(f\). What is the magnification and distance of the image from the optical centre of the lens?

  1. A \(1, \infty\)
  2. B Very high, \(\infty\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{f}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{f}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{f}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({U}=-{f}\) \(\frac{1}{{V}}-\frac{1}{{U}}=\frac{1}{-{f}} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{V}}=-\frac{2}{{f}}\) \({V}=\frac{-{f}}{2}\) \({m}=\frac{{V}}{{U}}=\frac{1}{2}\) distance \(=\frac{{f}}{2}\)
