Question

What is the magnification produced by a concave lens of focal length 10 cm, when an image is formed at a distance of 5 cm from the lens?

This question was previously asked in
NDA I 2022 GAT Previous Year Paper (10-Apr-2022)
The correct answer is

0.5

For a real object, f = −10 cm and v = −5 cm.

\(1/u=1/v-1/f=-1/5+1/10=-1/10.\)

Thus u = −10 cm and m = v/u = 0.5.
