hyperbola to concave lens as shown in figure.
In case of thin convex lens if an object is placed
at a distance x1 from first focus and its image is
formed at a distance x2 from the second focus. u2 du + df = 0
So that
Now there are three possibilities.
From properties of triangles,to the left of the lens v If d < 4f, u will be imaginary, so physically no
position of lens is possible.
If d = 4f, in this

v If and A bi-convex lens is formed with two thin
plano-convex lenses as shown in the figure.
Refractive index n of the first lens is 1.5 and
for these two positions of the
that of the second lens is 1.2. Both the curved
object real images are formed for surface are of the same radius of curvature R=14
cm. For this bi-convex lens, for an object
distance of 40 cm, the image distance will be

Example-79 (a) Using the lens formula,
A biconvex lens of focal length 15 cm is in front
of a plane mirror. The distance between the We have,
lens and the mirror is 10 cm. A small object is
kept at a distance of 30 cm from the lens. The
final image is

Both the values are real, which means there exist
two positions of lens that form images of object
on the screen.

of 16 cm from the mirror
