A diverging lens of focal length 15 cm forms an image of object placed at 30 cm from the lens.
The magnification of the lens is:
we have,
focal length of diverging ( Concave ) lens
distance of object from the lens
As per the thin lens equation the relation between , and the distnace of the image from the lens will be given as,
Using and in above relation we get,
sign indicates that the image is formed on the same side as that the object,
So, the magnification of diverging lense will be given as,
using and we get the magnification of lense as,
