If the image formed by a lens for all positions of the object placed in front of it is always virtual, erect and diminished, state the type of the lens. Draw a ray diagram in support of your answer. If the numerical value of focal length of such a lens is 20 cm, find its power in new cartesian sign conventions.

Diverging lens/ concave lens
We know that, $\text{P}=\frac{1}{\text{f meter}}$
When we convert 20cm into meter, we get 0.2m
Therefore, $\text{P}=\frac{1}{0.2 \text{ meter}}$
or, P = 5m.

- 9View SolutionThe two rays chosen for the construction of ray diagram is:
Ray 1: When the incident ray is parallel to the principal axis, the reflected ray will pass through the focus of concave mirror or it appears to pass through the focus of convex mirror.
Ray 2: When the incident ray passes through or appears to pass through the centre of curvature, the light, after reflection from the spherical mirror, reflects back along the same path.
The image formed is real, inverted, magnified and is formed beyond the centre of curvature.
