A convex lens or converging lens has a focal length of 25 cm. An object is placed 15 cm to the left of the lens. What is the distance of the image from the lens? What is the magnification of the lens? Is the image real or virtual? Is the image upright or inverted?

Step 1
Using the lens equation, we can find the distance of the image from the lens: 1/f = 1/do + 1/di where f is the focal length, do is the distance of the object from the lens, and di is the distance of the image from the lens. Plugging in the values given, we Show more…

A converging lens has a focal length of 50.0 cm. If the object distance, is 10.0 cm a. Find the image distance. b. Find the magnification. c. Is the image real or virtual? d. Is the image upright or inverted?
"two converging lenses with focal lengths 10cm and 20cm are separated by 20cm an object is 30cm from the lens with the 10mm focal length what is the position of the final image" What is the overall magnification? Is the image real or virtual? And is it upright or inverted?
