Focal length of the concave lens, f = - 20 cm
Image distance from the concave lens, v = - 15 cm (image formed by a concave lens is on the left side of the lens)
Height of the object, h1 = 5 cm
Height of the image = h2
Using the lens formula:
∴ u = - 60 cm.
Therefore, the object is at a distance of 60 cm from the concave lens and on the left side of it.
The magnification of the concave lens is given as:
Therefore, the size of the image is 1.25 cm.
