An object essentially at infinity is moved to a distance of 90 cm in front of a thin positive lens. In the process its image distance triples. Determine the focal length of the lens.

Respuesta :

Answer:

67.5 cm

Explanation:

u = - 90 cm, v = 3 x u = 3 x 90 = 270 cm

let f be the focal length

Use lens equation

1 / f = 1 / v - 1 / u

1 / f = 1 / 270 + 1 / 90

1 / f = 4 / 270

f = 67.5 cm
