To solve, apply the thin lens equation.
where
f = len's focal length
= object distance
= image distance
Plugging in the given values, the formula becomes:
Therefore, the focal length of the lens is 6 cm.
Take note that a converging lens has a positive value for f. And a diverging lens has a negative value for f.
Since the resulting value of f is positive, then, the it is a converging lens.
