Question Question 36(a)
The below image shows a thin lens of focal length 5 m.

(i) What is the kind of lens shown in the above figure?
(ii) If a real inverted image is to be formed by this lens at a distance of 7 m from the optical centre, then show with calculation where should the object be placed?
(iii) Draw a neatly labelled diagram of the image formation mentioned in (ii).
(i) Convex lens
(ii) Given,
Image distance (v) = 7 m
Focal length (f) = 5 m
Object distance (u) = ?
Using formula,
= -
We get,
= -
= - = =
So, u = - = -17.5 m
Hence, object should be placed at 17.5 m on the left side of the convex lens.
(iii) Below ray diagram shows the image formation:
