    A diverging meniscus lens of 1.5 refractive index has concave surfaces of radii 3 and 4 cm. The position of the image, if an object is placed 12 cm in front of the lens, is

    A)  7 cm                                     

    B)  - 8 cm

    C)  9 cm                                     

    D)  10 cm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] For given concave lens, \[{{R}_{1}}=-3\,cm,\]      \[{{R}_{2}}=-4\,cm\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{-3}+\frac{1}{4} \right)\] or            \[\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{(-12)}=(1.5-1)\left( \frac{-4+3}{12} \right)\] or            \[\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{12}=0.5\times \frac{-1}{12}=\frac{-1}{24}\] or            \[\frac{1}{v}=-\frac{1}{24}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{-1-2}{24}=-\frac{1}{8}\] or            \[v=-8\,cm\]
