Respuesta :

Given

The focal length , f=3.93 cm

The object distance, u=-19.24cm

To find

The image distance

Explanation

By lens formula we have,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{(-19.24)}=\frac{1}{3.93} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{v}=0.202 \\ \Rightarrow v=4.95cm=0.0495\text{ m} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Conclusion

The image distance is 0.0495 m
