Q.

An object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 10 cm as shown. A plane mirror is placed on the other side of lens at a distance of 20 cm. The image produced by the plane mirror is 5 cm inside the mirror. The distance of the object from the lens is ________cm.                   [2023]


Ans.

(30)

f=10 cm

1v-1u=1f

115-1-u=110

  1u=110-115

On solving we get value of u as 30 cm.
