JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 25th February Morning Shift - No. 21)

The same size images are formed by a convex lens when the object is placed at 20 cm or at 10 cm from the lens. The focal length of convex lens is __________ cm.
Answer
15

Explanation

$${1 \over v} - {1 \over u} = {1 \over f}$$ .... (1)

m = $${v \over u}$$ ..... (2)

from (1) and (2) we get

m = $${f \over {f + u}}$$

given conditions

m1 = -m2

$${f \over {f - 10}} = {{ - f} \over {f - 20}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ f – 20 = -f + 10

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 2f = 30

$$ \Rightarrow $$ f = 15 cm
