Answer:
0.857 cm
Explanation:
We are given that:
The focal length for a convex lens to be (f) = 1.5cm
The object distance (u) = - 2.0 cm
We are to determine the image distance (v) = ??? cm
By applying the lens formula:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}[/tex]
By rearrangement and making (v) the subject of the above formula:
[tex]v = \dfrac{uf}{u-f}[/tex]
replacing the given values:
[tex]v = \dfrac{(-2.0)(1.5)}{(-2.0 -1.5)}[/tex]
[tex]v = \dfrac{-3.0}{(-3.5)}[/tex]
v = 0.857 cm
