A 50 cm tall object is at a very large distance from a diverging lens. A virtual, erect and diminished image of the object is formed at a distance of 20 cm in front of the lens. How much is the focal length of the lens?

उत्तर
Given: Height of object (ho) = 50 cm
Image distance (v) = −20 cm ...(Negative because it is virtual)
Object distance (u) = ?
By using the lens formula:
`1/f = 1/v + 1/u`
⇒ `1/f = 1/-20 + 1/u` ...(i)
Since the object is at a very large distance, we can assume u = ∞. Thus:
`1/u` = 0
Substituting this values in equation (i), we get,
⇒ `1/f = 1/-20 + 0`
⇒ `1/f = 1/-20`
⇒ f = −20
∴ The focal length of the lens is −20 cm.

A 4 cm tall object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens. The distance of the object from the optical centre of the lens is 12 cm and its sharp image is formed at a distance of 24 cm from it on a screen on the other side of the lens. If the object is now moved a little away from the lens, in which way (towards the lens or away from the lens) will he have to move the screen to get a sharp image of the object on it again? How will the magnification of the image be affected?
An image which can be obtained on a screen is called a ______ image.
