Areal object with height of 3.20 cm is placed to the left of a converging lens whose focal length is 90cm. the image is on the right of the lens and 4.50cm tall and inverted. where is the object? where is the image? is the image real or virtual?

= 154 cm

= 216.6 cm

The image is real

Explanation:

= height of the object = 3.20 cm

= height of the image = 4.50 cm

f = focal length of the converging lens = 90 cm

= object distance from the lens = ?

= image distance from the lens = ?

using the equation for magnification

= 1.40625                        eq-1

using the lens equation

using eq-1

= 154 cm

Using eq-1

= 1.40625  

= 1.40625 (154)

= 216.6 cm

The image is real

correct it is c.) b b

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
