A diverging lens of focal length –10 cm is moving towards right with a velocity 5 m/s.An object, placed on Principal axis is moving towards left with a velocity 3 m/s. Find the velocity of image at the instant when the lateral magnification produced is 1/2. All velocities are with respect to ground.
3 m/s towards right
3 m/s towards left
7 m/s towards right
7 m/s towards left
(where denotes image speed w.r.t. lens and
denotes object speed w.r.t. lens)
.
Therefore image speed w.r.t. lens is 2 m/s Therefore image speed w.r.t. ground is 7 m/s towards right
