6. A convex (converging) lens has a focal length of 17.5 cm. Where on the lens axis should an object be placed in order to get a virtual, enlarged image with a magnification of 2.80? cm
6.
f = focal length of convex lens = 17.5 cm
di = image distance
do = object distance
m = magnification = 2.80
magnification is given as
m = - di/do
2.80 = - di/do
di = - 2.80 do eq-1
Using the lens equation
1/f = 1/di + 1/do
1/17.5 = 1/(- 2.80 do) + 1/do
do = 11.25 cm
