Question
An object is placed at a distance of 15 cm from a convex lens of focal length 20 cm. List four characteristics (nature, position, etc.) of the image formed by the lens.
Solution
Here, object distance, u = -15 cm
and focal length, f = 20 cm
Using lens formula,
`1/f = 1/v − 1/u`
`1/20 = 1/v − 1/(−15)`
`1/v = 1/20 − 1/15`
`v = − 60 cm`
Four characteristics of the image formed by the lens are :
(i) Image formed is virtual
(ii) Image is erect
(iii) Image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object
(iv) Enlarged image

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.
