A student is using a convex lens of focal length 18 cm to study the image formation by it for the various positions of the object. He observes that when he places the object at 27 cm, the location of the image is at 54 cm on the other side of the lens. Identify from the following diagram the three rays that are obeying the laws of refraction and may be used to draw the corresponding ray diagram.

(A) 1, 2 and 4
(B) 1, 3 and 5
(C) 2, 4 and 5
(D) 2, 3 and 4
A student has obtained a magnified image of a flame on a screen using a convex lens. To draw the corresponding ray diagram to show the image formation, which of the following two rays whose paths after refraction are shown, should he select ?

(C) III and IV
(D) I and III

If the image formed by a convex lens is of the same size as that of the object, what is the position of the image with respect to the lens?
If an object is placed at the focus of a convex lens, where is the image formed?
What type of lens would you use as a magnifying glass? How close must the object be to the lens?
State any two uses of convex lenses.
Explain with the help of a diagram, why the convex lens is also called a converging lens.
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.
- Rewrite the image distances in the correct order.
- What would be the image distance if the object distance was 90 cm?
- Which of the object distances gives the biggest image?
- What is the focal length of this lens?
An image formed on a screen is three times the size of the object. The object and screen are 80 cm apart when the image is sharply focussed.
- State which type of lens is used.
- Calculate focal length of the lens.
What type of lens is used to correct
hypermetropia
The given below figure shows an object OA and its image IB formed by a lens.

In the following cases, where must an object be placed in front of a convex lens so that the image formed is at infinity?
To find the image distance for varying object distances in case of a convex lens of focal length 15 cm, a student obtains on a screen a sharp image of a bright object by placing it at 20 cm distance from the lens. After that he gradually moves the object away from the lens and each time focuses the image on the screen.
(a) In which direction-towards or away from the lens does he move the screen to focus the object?
(b) How does the size of image change?
(c) Approximately at what distance does he obtain the image of magnification –1?
(d) How does the intensity of image change as the object moves farther and farther away from the lens?
For finding the focal length of a convex lens by obtaining the image of a distant object, one should use as the object.
(1) a well lit distant tree
(2) window grill in the class room
(3) any distant tree
(4) a lighted candle kept at the other end of the table.
