5. A convex lens forms a real and inverted image of a needle
is the needle placed in front of the convex lens if the image
Also, find the power of the lens.
Answers
A convex lens forms a real,inverted image of the same size as that of the object ,if the object is placed at 2F1.
In this case v=+50cm and m=-1
Now,m=v/u
u=v/m=50/-1=-50cm
Here,v=2f=50cm
f=50cm/2=25cm
=o.25m
Power p =1/f(m)
=1/0.25m
=100/25m-1
=4 dioptre
=4 D
Thus, the needle is placed at 50cm from the convex lens of power 4 D.
The position of the image should be at 2F since the image is the real and same size.
It is given that the image of the needle is formed at a distance of 50 cm from the convex lens. Therefore, the needle is placed in front of the lens at a distance of 50 cm.
Object distance (u) = – 50 cm
Image distance, (v) = 50 cm
Focal length = ( f )
According to the lens formula,
