In the diagram, the object is placed in front of a convex lens between focus and optical centre. The image is formed on the same side as the object as shown below. Characteristics of image formed:
Image is virtual and erect.
Image is larger than the object Image is formed behind the object.

The diverging lens in part (a) is replaced by a converging lens also of focal length 100mm. The object remains in the same position and an image is formed by the converging lens. Compare two properties of this image with those of the image formed by the diverging lens in part (a).
A lens of focal length 20cm is used to produce a ten times magnified image of a film slide on a screen. How far must the slide be placed from the lens ?
Draw the ray diagram and also state the position, the relative size and the nature of image formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed at the centre of curvature of the mirror.
An object of height 6 cm is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a concave lens of focal length 5 cm. use lens formula to determine the position, size and nature of the image if the distance of the object from the lens is 10 cm.
