Q1. A 4cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal

axis of a convex lens of focal length 20cm. If the distance of the
object is 30cm from the lens, find the position, nature and size
of the image. Also find its
magnification.                                                  
Ans: v=60cm, hi= -8cm, inverted, m= -2

Q2. A needle placed at 45cm from the lens forms an image on a

screen placed 90cm on the other side of the lens. Identify the
type of the lens and determine its focal length.
Ans: f= +30cm, convex lens

Q3. An object 2cm high is placed at a distance of 64cm from a

white screen. On placing a convex lens at a distance of 32cm
from the object it is found that a distinct image of the object is
formed on the screen. What is the focal length of the convex
lens and size of the formed on the screen?
Ans: f= 16cm, hi= -2cm (same size, inverted)

Q4. A 10cm tall object is placed perpendicular to the principal

axis of a convex lens of focal length 30cm. The distance of the
object from the lens is 20cm. Find the position, nature and size
of the image formed.
Ans: v= -60cm, hi= +30cm, erect

Q5. A concave lens of focal length 20cm forms an image at a

distance of 10cm from the lens. What is the distance of the
object from the lens?
Ans: u= -20cm

Q6. Find the position and nature of image formed when an

object is placed at a distance of 5cm from a concave lens of
focal length 15cm. What is its magnification?
Ans: v= -3.75cm, virtual and erect, m= 0.75
