A student focuses the image of a candle flame, placed at about 2 m from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm, on a screen. After that he moves gradually the flame towards the lens and each time focuses its image on the screen.
In which direction does he move the lens to focus the flame on the screen?
What happens to the size of the image of the flame formed on the screen?
What difference is seen in the intensity (brightness) of the image of the flame on the screen?
What is seen on the screen when the flame is very close (at about 5 cm) to the lens?
An object 1cm tall is placed 30cm in front of a convex mirror of focal length 20cm. Find the size and position of the image formed by the convex mirror.
The linear magnification produced by a spherical mirror is +3. Analyse this value and state the (i) type of mirror and (ii) position of the object with respect to the pole of the mirror. Draw ray diagram to show the formation of image in this case.
What is the minimum number of rays required for locating the image formed by a concave mirror for an object. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of a virtual image by a concave mirror.
