Answer:
f = - 25 cm
v = ?
By lens formula
1/f = 1/v - 1/u
1/-25=1/v - 1/-25
1/-25 = 1/v + 1/25
1/v = -2/25
v = -25/2
v = - 12.5 cm
The negative sign shows that the image is erect and virtual.
If the image and object are on the same side of the lens, the image distance is negative and the image is virtual.
Given:-
object distance :- -30cm
focal length :- -10cm
1/f=1/u + 1/v
=> 1/v= 1/f - 1/u
=> 1/v = 1/(-10) + 1/(-30)
=>1/v = -{ 1/10+1/30}
=>1/v = - { (3+1)/30}
=>1/v = - {4/30}
=>1/v= - {2/15}
or,
v=-15/2cm
hence, image distance = 15/2cm
