प्रश्न
At what distance should an object be placed from a lens of focal length 25 cm to obtain its image on a screen placed on the other side at a distance of 50 cm from the lens? What will be the magnification produced in this case?
उत्तर
Given that,
Focal length, f = 25 cm
Image distance, v = 50 cm
Form the lens formula,
`1/v-1/u=1/f` (where u = object distance)
`"or", 1/u=1/v-1/f`
`=1/50-1/25`
Therefore,
`1/u=(-1)/50`
Or, u = −50 cm
Magnification, `m=v/u`
`=50/(-50)`
= -1
The object must be placed 50 cm away from the lens, on the other side to produce a magnification of −1.

The image of a candle flame placed at a distance of 30 cm from a spherical lens is formed on a screen placed on the other side of the lens at a distance of 60 cm from the optical centre of the lens. Identify the type of lens and calculate its focal length. If the height of the flame is 3 cm, find the height of its image.
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

(b) less than 1
(c) equal to 1
(d) more or less than 1
