The size of the images of an object, formed by a thin lens are equal when the object is placed at two different positions 8 cm and 24 cm from the lens. The focal length of the lens is ___________ cm.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 16
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(m=\frac{f}{f+u}\)
\(m _1=- m _2\)
\(\frac{f}{f-8}=-\frac{f}{f-24}\)
\(f-8=24-f\)
\(2 f=32\)
\(f =16 cm\)
\(m _1=- m _2\)
\(\frac{f}{f-8}=-\frac{f}{f-24}\)
\(f-8=24-f\)
\(2 f=32\)
\(f =16 cm\)
