What is the position of an image formed by a convex lens of focal length 18 cm when an object is placed 12 cm in the front of the lens?

To find the image position convex lens, we use the lens formula:

Lens Formula

1/f = 1/v − 1/u
Where,
f = focal length of the lens (18 cm),
u = object distance (−12 cm, since object is in front of the lens),
v = image distance (to be calculated)

Calculation

1/18 = 1/v − 1/(-12)
1/18 = 1/v + 1/12
1/v = 1/18 − 1/12
1/v = (2 − 3)/36
1/v = −1/36
v = −36 cm

Conclusion

The negative value of v indicates that the image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object. Hence, the image is virtual, erect, and magnified, located at 36 cm in front of the lens.

Note:

For convex lenses, when the object is placed between the focal point and the lens, the image formed is always virtual, erect, and magnified.
