Question
An object is placed at a distance of 12 cm from a convex lens of focal length 8 cm. Find :
1) the position of the image
2) nature of the image
Solution
1)
Given data:
u = -12 cm, f = +8 cm, v = ?
Lens formula
`1/v - 1/u = 1/f`
`1/v - 1/(-12) = 1/8`
`1/v = 1/8 - 1/12`
v = 24 cm [Position of Image]
2) Nature if image : Real, inverted and magnified.

A student did an experiment with a convex lens. He put an object at different distances 25 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm and 120 cm from the lens. In each case he measured the distance of the image from the lens. His results were 100 cm, 24 cm, 60 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm, respectively. Unfortunately his results are written in wrong order.
