The filament of a lamp is 80 cm from a screen and a converging lens forms an image of it on a screen, magnified three times. Find the distance of the lens from the filament and the focal length of the lens.

filament of a lamp is 80 cm from a screen = -80 cm

m = 3


using the formula, m = v/u


distance of the lens from the filament = 20 cm ;


Using the lens formula,



f = + 15 cm
