Question

If a magnification of, –1 (minus 1) is obtained by using a converging lens, then the object has to be placed:
(a) within f
(b) at 2f
(c) beyond 2f
(d) at infinity

Open in App

Solution

(b) At 2f

When an object is placed at 2f, the size of the image formed will be equal to the size of the object. Therefore, we get a magnification of 1.
