Question
A student used a device (X) to obtain/focus the image of a well illuminated distant building on a screen (S) as shown below in the diagram. Select the correct statement about the device (X).
Options
This device is a concave lens of focal length 8 cm.
This device is a convex mirror of focal length 8 cm.
This device is a convex lens of focal length 4 cm.
This device is a convex lens of focal length 8 cm.

Solution
This device is a convex lens of focal length 8 cm.
Explanation:
The incident rays after passing through the lens converge at the focus. So, the device 'X' is a converging or a convex lens. The distance between the lens and the screen gives the focal length of the lens.

A simple microscope is used by watch repairers. Give reason.
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?
