Question
A converging lens with a focal length of 50 cm is used to create an image of a 1.8 mm long ant. If the lens is placed so that the image of the ant is 8 mm long, inverted, and viewed on a screen held some unspecified distance on the other side of the lens to the ant, how far away from the ant was the lens placed?
