a)
Height of arrow = 2cm
Distance from lense = 6cm
Focal length = 2cm
Formula: 1/f = 1/v +1/u Note: f = focal length, v = image of arrow's distance from lens, u = object's distance from lens
notice that the values are inverted because they are on the opposite side of the lens (opposite side of the arrow)
-1/2 = -1/6 +1/v
1/v = -1/2 + 1/6, which simplifies into 1/v = -1/3
v = -3 cm
This means that the height of the image is upside down, but it is still 3 cm.
(If you know physics, the virtual image behind the convex lens turns upside down if the object is behind the focal point of the convex lens.)
Height of image/Height of object = -v /u = 3/6 = 1/2
Height of image / 2 = 1/2 Note: height of image (virtual reflection) of arrow = h
Multiply by 2 on both sides to get h=1cm.
The answer to a) is A.
