A convex lens forms a real and inverted image of a needle at a distance of 50 cm from it. Where is the needle placed in front of the convex lens if the image is equal to the size of the object? Also, find the power of the lens.

v = + 50 cm
Since image is real and of same size. The position of image should be double the focal length.
Hence, the object should be at 2f.
V = 2f = 50, f = 25 cm.
Power = 1/f = 100/25 = 4D

‘‘A concave mirror of focal length 15cm can form a magnified erect as well as inverted image of an object placed in front of it.’’ Justify this statement stating the position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror in both cases for obtaining the images.
“A ray of light incident on a rectangular glass slab immersed in any medium emerges parallel to itself.” Draw labeled ray diagram to justify this statement.
With the help of a ray diagram, determine the position, nature and size of the image formed of an object placed at the centre of curvature of a concave mirror.
