Answer: 20cm
Explanation:
Given the following data:
Magnification of image = - 1.50
Distance of image from the lens = 30.0cm
The Magnification of an image is the ratio of the image distance from the lens and the object distance from the lens.
Mathematically,
Magnification(M) = - (image distance (di) / object distance (do))
M = - (di/do)
-1.50 = - (30/do)
do = 30 / 1.5
do = 20 cm
Object is placed at a distance of 20cm from the lens.
