The size of the real image produced by a convex lens of focal length $\mathrm{F}$ is ' $\mathrm{m}$ ' times the size of the object. The image distance from the lens is
  1. $\frac{F}{(m-1)}$
  2. $\frac{(m-1)}{F}$
  3. $\mathrm{F}(\mathrm{m}+1)$
  4. $\mathrm{F}(\mathrm{m}-1)$

Solution

From lens formula, $\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~F}}$ For a convex lens, $\mathrm{u}$ is negative, $\mathrm{v}$ and $\mathrm{F}$ are positive. $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{-\mathrm{u}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~F}} \\ & \therefore \quad \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~F}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}} \end{aligned}$ Multiplying by $\mathrm{v}$, $\begin{aligned} 1 & =\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{F}}-\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}} \\ \therefore \quad 1 & =\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{F}}-\mathrm{m} \quad \ldots\left(\because \frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}}=\mathrm{m}\right) \\ \therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{F}} & =1+\mathrm{m} \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{v} & =\mathrm{F}(1+\mathrm{m}) \end{aligned}$ /
