Answer:
The image distance is 17.56 cm
Explanation:
We have,
Height of light bulb is 3 cm.
The light bulb is placed at a distance of 50 cm. It means object distance is, u =-50 cm
Focal length of the lens, f = +13 cm
Let v is distance between image and the lens. Using lens formula :
[tex]\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{13}+\dfrac{1}{(-50)}\\\\v=17.56\ cm[/tex]
So, the image distance is 17.56 cm.
