An object of height 8.50 cm is placed 20.0 cm to the left of a converging lens with a focal length of 12.0 cm. Determine the image location in cm, the magnification, and the image height in cm.

The image distance is 33.3 cm while the image height is 14.2 cm.

What is a converging lens?

A converging lens will always have a positive focal length hence, we have to find the object distance as follows;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

1/12 = 1/v + 1/20

1/v = 1/12 - 1/20

1/v = 0.08 - 0.05

v =33.3 cm

Now;

Magnification =  33.3 cm/20.0 cm =1.67

M = Image height/Object height

1.67 =  Image height/8.50 cm

Image height = 1.67  * 8.50 cm

Image height = 14.2 cm
