A convex lens has a focal length of 10 cm. find the location and nature of the image if a point object is placed on the principal axis at a distance of (a) 9.8 cm, (b) 10.2 cm from the lens.

the focal length of the lens is given as f= 10 cm.

(a) when the object is at distance 9.5 cm away from the lens, i.e.


u=-9.5cm



Using lens formula,





Magnification m= v/u =-490/-9.8 = 50cm


Hence, image is virtual and erect.


(b) when the object is at distance 9.5 cm away from the lens, i.e. u=-10.2 cm



Using lens formula,





Magnification m= v/u = 510/-9.8 = -52.04 cm


Hence, image is real and inverted.
