प्रश्न
An object is placed vertically at a distance of 20 cm from a convex lens. If the height of the object is 5 cm and the focal length of the lens is 10 cm, what will be the position, size and nature of the image? How much bigger as compared to the object?
उत्तर
Given: Height of the object (h1) = 5 cm,
focal length (f) = 10 cm,
distance of the object (u) = –20 cm
To find: Image distance (v), height of the image (h2), magnification (M)
Formulae:
- `1/"v" - 1/"u" = 1/"f"`
- Magnification (M) = `"h"_2/"h"_1 = "v"/"u"`
Calculation: From formula (i),
`1/"v" = 1/"u" + 1/"f"`
∴ `1/"v" = 1/(-20) + 1/10`
∴ `1/"v" = (- 1 + 2)/20`
∴ `1/"v" = 1/20`
∴ v = 20 cm
From formula (ii),
`"h"_2 = "v"/"u" xx "h"_1`
∴ `"h"_2 = 20/(- 20) xx 5`
∴ `"h"_2 = (- 1) xx 5`
∴ `"h"_2` = - 5 cm
∴ M = `"v"/"u" = 20/(-20)` = - 1
The negative sign of the height of the image and the magnification shows that the image is inverted and real. It is below the principal axis and is of the same size as the object.

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
