Important Questions from Lenses
Which of the following are characteristics of a convex lens?
Show answer
Thicker at the center, Can converge light rays, Can form real images
A convex lens is thicker at the center and thinner at the edges. It can converge parallel light rays to a focus point. It can form both real images (when object is beyond focus) and virtual images (when object is between focus and lens).
The point where parallel rays of light converge after passing through a convex lens is called:
Show answer
Principal focus
The principal focus (F) is the point on the optic axis where light rays parallel to the axis converge after refraction through a convex lens. This is a fundamental definition in lens optics.
Which of the following statements about concave lenses are correct?
Show answer
They diverge light rays, They have negative focal length, They always form virtual images
Concave lenses are diverging lenses that spread out light rays. They have negative focal length and negative power. They always form virtual, erect, and diminished images regardless of object position.
An object 4 cm high is placed 15 cm from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm. What is the height of the image?
Show answer
8 cm
Given: h₀ = 4 cm, u = -15 cm, f = 10 cm. First find v: 1/10 = 1/v - 1/(-15), so 1/v = 1/10 - 1/15 = 1/30, v = 30 cm. Magnification m = v/u = 30/(-15) = -2. Image height hᵢ = m × h₀ = (-2) × 4 = -8 cm. The magnitude is 8 cm (negative indicates inverted).
