What will be the nature of the image formed from both a convex lens and a concave lens of 20 centimeter focus distance, when the object is placed at a distance of
10 centimeters?

Explanation:

Using the lens formula

1//f = 1/u+1/v

f is the focal length of the lens

u is the object distance

v is the image distance

For convex lens

The focal length of a convex lens is positive and the image distance can either be negative or positive.

Given f = 20cm and u = 10cm

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/20-1/10

1/v = (1-2)/20

1/V = -1/20

v = -20/1

v = -20 cm

Since the image distance is negative, this shows that the nature of the image formed by the convex lens is a virtual image

For concave lens

The focal length of a concave lens is negative and the image distance is negative.

Given f = -20cm and u = 10cm

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = -1/20-1/10

1/v = (-1-2)/20

1/V = -3/20

v = -20/3

v = -6.67 cm

Since the image distance is negative, this shows that the nature of the image formed by the concave lens is a virtual image
