use 1/Di+1/D0=1/F ... with F= 10cm and hi/h0=-1 (-2/2) = Magnification = -Di/D0 (minus sign indicates inversion) thus Di=D0 and Di=20cm=D0

asked 02/25/22physics question !!!
a convex lens has a focal length of 10 cm. an object 2 cm tall is placed in front of the lens.
(a) at what distance will the image appear inverted and 2 cm tall?
(b) at what object distance will the image appear erect and have a magnification of 3?

a) The magnification is -1 (inversion changes sign) m = -di/do so di = do (because di is positive, it is on the opposite side of the lens (where light rays can converge)
b) I leave this to you as the problem requires the same logic. m = +3
