The student has focused on the screen the image of a 2cm candle flame placed at a distance of 24cm from a convex lens of focal length 16cm. Use lens formula to calculate the distance of the screen from the lens and length of the image formed . b. If the distance between the lens and the flame is increased to 32cm,where would the image be formed and what would be its size? Give reason to support your answer.

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 2 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 moves 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?

A)

, u is negative. let it be -U.

U is decreased. 1/U increases. So RHS decreases. So
v
1
decreases.
So v increases. Thus the lens is moved away from screen, towards the object.
B) As v increases and u decreases, magnification increases. So image is magnified.
C) As the image is enlarged, the light rays are spread out. So the brightness or intensity of the image is reduced.
D) When the flame is at Focal length distance, the image is at Infinity. If the flame is closer than focal length, then a virtual erect image is formed.
