A converging lens of focal length 5cm forms a virtual image which is 10cm from the lens. How far from the lens is the object?

A.

2.0cm

B.

3.3cm

C.

5.0cm

D.

10.0cm

E.

15.0cm

Correct answer is B

\(f = \frac{uv}{u+v}\)

\(5 = \frac{-10u}{-10+u}\)

\(50 + 5u = -10u\)

\(50 = -10u - 5u\)

\(u = \frac{50}{-15}\)

u= -3.3cm
