Answer

Infinity

Work Step by Step

Given: Object distance $p=40\ cm$ Focal length of lens $f=+40\ cm$ Using the lens formula: $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{i}$ Where $i$ is the image distance $\frac{1}{i}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}$ $\frac{1}{i}=\frac{p-f}{pf}$ $\frac{1}{i}=\frac{40-40}{40\times40}$ $\frac{1}{i}=0$ $i=∞$ Note: Since the object is placed at a distance equal to the lens’s focal length, the image will formed at infinity.
