प्रश्न

A converging lens has focal length of 12 cm. Calculate at what distance the object should be placed from the lens so that it forms an image at 48 cm on the other side of the lens.

उत्तर

 

Given,

Image distance: v = +48 cm         (It is on the other side of the lens)

Focal length: f = +12 cm               (It is a converging lens or convex lens)

Object distance: u =?                    (To be calculated)

Now, putting these values in the lens formula:-

`1/f=1/v-1/u`

`rArr1/12=1/48-1/u`

`rArr1/u=1/48-1/12`

`rArr1/u=(1-4)/48`

`rArr1/u=(-1)/16`

`rArru=-16" cm"`

Therefore, the object should be placed at a distance of 16 cm from the convex lens. The minus sign with the object distance shows that the object is on its left side.

A student wants to project the image of a candle flame on a screen 60 cm in front of a mirror by keeping the flame at a distance of 15 cm from its pole.

(a) Write the type of mirror he should use.

(b) Find the linear magnification of the image produced.

(c) What is the distance between the object and its image?

(d) Draw a ray diagram to show the image formation in this case.


A student has obtained an image of a distant object on a screen to determine the focal length F1 of the given lens. His teacher, after checking the image, gave him another lens of  focal length F2 and asked him to focus the same object on the same screen. The student found that to obtain a sharp image, he has to move the lens away from the screen. From this finding, we may conclude that both the lenses given to the student were :

(A) Concave and F1 < F2

(B) Convex and F1 < F2

(C) Convex and F1 > F2

(D) Concave and F1 > F2


The image seen in a plane mirror cannot be formed on a screen. What name is given to this type of image?


The magnification of an image formed by a lens is −1. If the distance between the object and its image is 60 cm, what is the distance of the object from the optical centre of the lens? Find the nature and focal length of the lens. If the object is displaced 20 cm towards the optical centre of the lens, where would the image be formed and what would be its nature? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer.

An object of height 6 cm is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a concave lens of focal length 5 cm. Use lens formula to determine the position, size and nature of the image if the distance of the object from the lens is 10 cm. 


The image of a candle flame placed at a distance 30 cm from a spherical lens is formed on a screen placed at a distance of 60 cm from the lens. Identify the type of lens and calculate its focal length. If the height of the flame is 2.4 cm, find the height of its image.


The image of a candle flame placed at a distance 36 cm from a spherical lens is formed on a screen placed at a distance of 72 cm from the lens. Identify the type of lens and calculate its focal length. If the height of the flame is 2.5 cm, find the height of its image.


Solve the following example.

An object kept 60 cm from a lens gives a virtual image 20 cm in front of the lens. What is the focal length of the lens? Is it a converging lens or diverging lens?


What do you understand by the term magnification?


The image of a candle flame formed by a lens is obtained on a screen placed on the other side of the lens. If the image is three times the size of the flame and the distance between lens and image is 80 cm, at what distance should the candle be placed from the lens? What is the nature of the image at a distance of 80 cm and the lens?
