Vedclass · Answer

(A) Using the lens formula: $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$.Given: Object distance $u = -25 \ cm$ (by sign convention) and image distance $v = +75 \ cm$ (since the image is formed on a screen on the other side).Substituting the values:$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{75} - \frac{1}{-25} = \frac{1}{75} + \frac{1}{25}$.$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1 + 3}{75} = \frac{4}{75}$.$f = \frac{75}{4} = +18.75 \ cm$.Since the focal length is positive,the lens is a convex lens.
