Problem

A thin lens produces an upright image that is twice the height of the object. The object is located 10 cm from the lens on the side from which light approaches. (a) Determine the image distance, indicating its sign and physical location. (b) Calculate the focal length with correct sign and units. (c) Explain how the focal-length sign aligns with the lens type.
