15.Astudent has to project a three times magnified image of a candle flame on a wall. Name thetype of lens (converging/diverging ) required for the purpose. If the candle flame is at adistance of 6 m from the wall, find the focal length of the lens.3 |

Answer» Converging lens or Convex lens should be used by the user to project the image of candle on the wall as he wants it to be three times magnified. Reason:In Convex lens, when object is placed between F and C , the image will be formed beyond C .Nature of Image :--> magnified, real and inverted.hi=3hoImage distance= object distance + 6v=6+uwe know that magnification=m=v/um=v/u-3=v/u[since image is magnifed three times ]-3=6+u/u-3u=6+u4u=-6u=-6/4u=-1.5 mv=6-(-1.5)v=7.5mby using lens formula,1/f =1/v-1/u1/7.5 +1/1.5=1/f10/75+10/15=1/f10+50/ 75=1/f∴ f=75/60=1.25mThus, Focal length of a given convex lens is 1.25m |
