उत्तर
| Concave lens | Convex lens | |
| 1. | It is a diverging lens because it diverges the rays falling on it. | It is a converging lens because it converges the rays falling on it. |
| 2. | It is thin at the center and bulged at the edge. | It is thin at the edge and bulged at the centre. |
| 3. | The image formed by concave lens is always diminished and virtual. | The image formed by convex lens can be real as well as virtual. Also, the image formed can be diminished as well as magnified. |
| 4. | It has a virtual focus. | It has a real focus. |

A student did an experiment with a convex lens. He put an object at different distances 25 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm and 120 cm from the lens. In each case he measured the distance of the image from the lens. His results were 100 cm, 24 cm, 60 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm, respectively. Unfortunately his results are written in wrong order.
Which of the object distances gives the biggest image?
