A convex lens of focal length ' $f$ ' $m$ forms a real, inverted image twice in size of the object. The object distance from the lens in metre is
  1. 0.5 f
  2. 0.66 f
  3. f
  4. 1.5 f

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Focal length }=\mathrm{f} \\ & \mathrm{~m}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{h}}=-2 ...(given)\\ \therefore \quad & \mathrm{v}=-2 \mathrm{u} \end{aligned}$
From lens formula, $\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \\ & \frac{1}{-2 u}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \\ & \frac{u+2 u}{2 u^2}=\frac{1}{f} \\ & \frac{3 u}{2 u^2}=\frac{1}{f} \\ & \frac{1.5}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \\ & \therefore \quad u=1.5 \mathrm{f}\end{aligned}$
