Question

The magnification produced by a spherical lens and a spherical mirror is + 2.0.
(a) The lens and mirror are both concave
(b) The lens and mirror are both convex
(c) The lens is convex but the mirror is concave
(d) The lens is concave but the mirror is convex

Solution

 The lens is convex but the mirror is concave.
Because both concave mirror and convex lens have positive magnification.

A magnifying lens has a focal length of 100 mm. An object whose size is 16 mm is placed at some distance from the lens so that an image is formed at a distance of 25 cm in front of the lens. 

What is the distance between the object and the lens? 


An image formed on a screen is three times the size of the object. The object and screen are 80 cm apart when the image is sharply focussed. 

 Calculate focal length of the lens.


Assertion: The focal length of the mirror is /and the distance of the object from the focus is V then the magnification of the mirror will be `("f"/"f−u")`

Reason: Magnification = `"image distance"/ "object distance"` = `(-"v"/"u")`
