When an object is placed at a distance of 36cm from a convex lens, an image of the same size as the object is formed. What will be the nature of image formed when the object is placed at a distance of:
- 10cm from the lens?
- 20cm from the lens?

- The image will be virtual and magnified. We know that a convex lens forms the image of the same size as that of the object when the object is placed at 2f. Thus, the focal length of the lens is 13cm. In this case, the object is placed between the focus(f) and the optic centre. This position of the object results in the formation of a virtual and magnified image.
- The image will be real and magnified because the object is placed between 2f and f.
