Question 365 marksLong AnswerSection D

(a) An object is placed in front of a convex lens of focal length f. If the distance of the object from the lens is 2f, draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image. Write the value of magnification in this case.

(b) A student has focussed the image of a candle flame on a white screen using a convex lens. The situation is as given below:

Length of the flame =2 cm= 2\text{ cm}

Focal length of the lens =12 cm= 12\text{ cm}

Distance of the flame from the lens =16 cm= 16\text{ cm}

If the flame is perpendicular to the principal axis of the lens, calculate the values of the following:

(i) Distance of the image from the lens

(ii) Length of the image formed

Light — Reflection and Refraction
Image Formation by Spherical Mirrors

Official answer

(a) The ray diagram for the formation of the image is shown below:


The magnification in this case is 1.

(b) (i) Distance of the image from the lens = 12 cm

(ii) Length of the image formed = 3 cm
