Question

consider an object 2 cm tall and the object located 6 m to the left of ( -2D) spectacle lens, Calculate the position and height of the image for in case of convergence and divergence lens?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The negative power of a lens represents that the lens is a diverging lens. Since two different cases are provided in the question so the same power is used by changing the sign for the converging lens to solve this problem.

For the converging lens:

The thin lens formula is:
