A24 cm candle is placed 6 m in front of a thin diverging lens with a focal length magnitude of 3 m. find the image's height and classify it as real or virtual, upright or inverted, enlarged or reduced.

Image is virtual and formed on the same side as the object. 2 m from the lens.

The size of the image is 7.97 cm

Image is upright as the magnification is positive and smaller than the object.

Explanation:

u = Object distance =  6 m

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = -3 m (concave lens)

= Object height = 24 cm

Lens Equation

Image is virtual and formed on the same side as the object. 2 m from the lens.

Magnification

The size of the image is 7.97 cm

Image is upright as the magnification is positive and smaller than the object.

the correct answer is b
