Q33 of 36 Page 283

Draw the ray diagram in each case to show the position and nature of the image formed when the object is placed:

(i) In front of a convex lens at F,


(ii) At 3F of a convex lens,


(iii) Between the lens and infinity of a concave lens.

(i) Ray diagram when object is placed in front of a convex lens at F



The image in this case is formed at infinity, it is real, inverted and highly enlarged.


(ii) Ray diagram when object is placed at 3F of a convex lens



Position of image in this case is between F and 2F on other side of lens, the image formed is real, inverted and diminished.


(iii) Ray diagram when object is placed between the lens and infinity of a concave lens



The position of Image in this case is between optical centre and the focus on the side of object. It is virtual, erect and diminished.

When an object is placed at a distance of 60 cm from a convex mirror the magnification produced is 1/2. Where should the object be placed to get a magnification of 1/3.

A concave lens has focal length of 20cm. At what distance from the lens a 5 cm tall object be placed so that it forms an image at a distance of 15 cm from the lens? Also calculate the size of the image formed.

 31

At what distance should an object be placed from a convex lens of focal length 18 cm to obtain an image at 36 cm from it? What will be the magnification produced in this case?

You have two lenses A and B of focal lengths + 10 cm and – 10 cm respectively. State the nature and power of each lens. Which of the two lenses will form a virtual and magnified image of an object placed 8 cm from the lens? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer.
