What will be the output size, if the input to convolution layer of neural network is an image of size 128X128X3 and 40 filters of size 5X5 are applied to it?

you can use this formula [(W−K+2P)/S]+1
.
- W is the input volume - in your case 128
- K is the Kernel size - in your case 5
- P is the padding - in your case 0 i believe
- S is the stride - which you have not provided.
So, we input into the formula:
Output_Shape = (128-5+0)/1+1
Output_Shape = (124,124,40)
NOTE: Stride defaults to 1 if not provided and the 40
in (124, 124, 40)
is the number of filters provided by the user.
Let me start simple; since you have square matrices for both input and filter let me get one dimension. Then you can apply the same for other dimension(s). Imagine your are building fences between trees, if there are N trees, you have to build N-1 fences. Now apply that analogy to convolution layers.
Your output size will be: input size - filter size + 1
Because your filter can only have n-1 steps as fences I mentioned.
Let's calculate your output with that idea. 128 - 5 + 1 = 124 Same for other dimension too. So now you have a 124 x 124 image.
That is for one filter.
If you apply this 40 times you will have another dimension: 124 x 124 x 40
