8. A 5 cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a convex lens of focal- length 20 cm. The
distance of the object from the lens is 30 cm. Find the:
(i) position
(ii) nature
(iii) size of the image formed.
9. 4.5 cm needle is placed 12 cm away from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Give the location of image
and magnification. Describe what happens to the image as the needle is moved farther from the mirror.

10. Rohit placed a pencil perpendicular to principal axis in front of a converging mirror of focal length 30 cm. The
image formed is twice the size of the pencil. Calculate the distance of the object from the mirror.

11. (a) A converging lens forms a real and inverted image of an object at a distance of 100 cm from it. Where
should an object be placed in front of the lens, so that the size of the image is twice the size of the object?
Also, calculate the power of a lens.
12. (a) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image of an object placed between infinity and the optical
centre of a concave lens.
(b) A concave lens of focal length 15 cm forms an image 10 cm from the lens. Calculate:
(i) the distance of the object from the lens.
(ii) the magnification for the image formed
(a) Image formation when the object is at any position between infinity and optical centre. Position of image:
Between and optical centre. Nature of image : Virtual, erect and diminished.
(b) f = -155cm, v = – 10cm
(i) Using = 1/f = 1/v − 1/u,
1/u = 1/v − 1/f
1/−10 − 1/−15 = 1/u

= −1/30 ∴
u = -30cm Therefore, the object is at 30 cm from the concave lens on its left side
(ii) m = −10/−30 = 1/3
13. concave lens has focal length of 20 cm. At what distance from the lens a 5 cm tallobject be placed so that
it forms an image at 15 cm from the lens? Also calculate thesize of the image formed.2.

14. An object 50 cm tall is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens. Its 20 cm tallimage is formed on the
screen placed at a distance of 10 cm from the lens. Calculatethe focal length of the lens. 3.

15. An object 2 cm high is placed at a distance of 64 cm from a white screen. On placing a convex lens at a
distance of 32 cm from the object it is found that a distinct image of the object is formed on the screen.
What is the focal length of the convex lens and size of the image formed on the screen? Draw a ray
diagram to show the formation of the image in this position of the object with respect to the lens. 4.

16. A convex lens has a focal length of 10 cm. At what distance from the lens should theobject be placed so
that it forms a real and inverted image 20 cm away from the lens?What would be the size of the image
formed if the object is 2 cm high? With the helpof a ray diagram show the formation of the image by the
lens in this case.

17. The refractive index of glass is 1.50 and the speed of light in air is 3 x 108 [Link] the speed of light
in glass.
18. At what distance should an object be placed from a convex lens of focal length 18 cmto obtain an image at
24 cm from it on the other side. What will be the magnificationproduced in this case?

19. How far should an object be placed from a .convex lens of focal length 20 cm toobtain its image at a
distance of 30 cm from the lens? What will be the height of theimage if the object is 6 cm tall?

20. The image of an object placed at 60 cm in front of a lens is obtained on a screen at adistance of 120 cm
from it. Find the focal length of the lens. What would be theheight of the image if the object is 5 cm high?

21. a) If the image formed by a lens is diminished in size and erect, for all positions of theobject, what type of
lens is it?

(b) Name the point on the lens through which a ray of light passes undeviated.
