An object is placed at the following distance from a convex lens of focal length 15cm:
  1. 35cm
  2. 30cm
  3. 20cm
  4. 10cm
Which position of the object will produce:
  1. A magnified real image?
  2. A magnified virtual image?
  3. A diminished real image?
  4. An image of same size as the object?

  1. The object should be placed at 20cm because a convex mirror forms a real, magnified image when an object is placed between f and 2f.
  2. The object should be placed at 10cm because a convex mirror forms a virtual, magnified image when an object is placed placed between f(focus) and the optic centre
  3. The object should be placed at 35cm because a convex mirror forms a real, diminished image when an object is placed beyond 2f.
  4. The object should be placed at 30cm because a convex mirror forms a real image of the same size when an object is placed at 2f.
