a) define the focal length of a divergent lens
b) A divergent lens of focal length 30 cm forms the image of an object of size 6cm on the same side as the object at a distance of 15 cm from its optical center. Use lens formula to determine the distance of the object from the lens the size of the image formed.
(a) The focus of a divergent i.e. concave lens is the point on the principal axis from which the light rays parallel to the axis is diverged after passing through the lens. The distance between the pole of the concave lens and principal focus is called Focal length.
(b) Given: Focal length. f =-30 cm
Size of the object, h = 6 cm
Image distance, v = -15 cm
