A converging lens has focal length f = 50 [cm] and an object is placed in the back of the lens 100 [cm] away. Calculate the position of the image q and the magnification M. Also state the meaning of q and M being positive or negative numbers. Before you calculate consider whether the numbers you plug in should be positive or negative, see sign-convention table given in lecture. Note: the object is in the back of the lens, that is the light is coming from the other side in consequence the object is virtual, hence p is negative.
