30 cm

C

60 cm

D

80 cm

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A)

If the curved surface of a plano-convex lens is silvered, the focal length of the lens is given by

$\frac{1}{F} = \frac{2 μ}{R}$

$⟹ F = \frac{R}{2 μ} = \frac{3 0}{2 \times 1 . 5} = 10 c m$

The real image will be equal to the size of the object if the object distance $u = 2 F = 2 \times 10 = 20 c m$
