A converging lens of focal length 10cm forms an erect image three times the size of the real object. Calculate the distance between the image and the object.

A.

6.6cm

B.

11.1cm

C.

13.3cm

D.

20.0cm

Correct answer is C

Given, image size = 3U

object size = U

focal length = 10cm

lens to object distance = \(\frac{focal length \times object size}{image size}\)

= \(\frac{10 \times u}{3u} = 3.33\)

distance between image and object = 10 + 3.33 = 13.33cm
