Question
Where should an object be placed in front of a convex lens to get a real image of the size of the object?
Options
At the principal focus of the lens
At twice the focal length
At infinity
Between the optical centre of the lens and its principal focus
Solution
At twice the focal length
Explanation:
The object is to be placed at twice the focal length of the lens.
