Test: Lense Formula - Class 10 MCQ

- To find the magnification of a lens, use the formula: Magnification (M) = Image distance (V) / Object distance (U).
- In this case, the object distance (U) is -9 cm (the negative sign indicates the object is on the same side as the incoming light). and the image distance (V) is 36 cm.
- Plugging in the values: M = 36 cm / - 9 cm = - 4.
- Negative sign that indicates the image is inverted but the magnitude is 4.

We know, height of the object is 4 cm h1, height of the image is 3 cm, h2. 
So we have, m = h2/h1 
=> m = 3/4  
=> m = 0.75
Therefore, magnification of the lens is 0.75 

A convergent beam of light passes through a diverging lens with a focal length of 0.2 m and comes to focus 0.3 m behind the lens. We need to find the position where the beam would converge in the absence of the lens.

Given:

• Focal length of diverging lens, f = -0.2 m (negative because it's a diverging lens)
• Image distance, v = 0.3 m

Using the Lens Formula:

The lens formula is:

(1 / f) = (1 / v) - (1 / u)

Step-by-Step Solution:

(1 / -0.2) = (1 / 0.3) - (1 / u)

-5 = (10 / 3) - (1 / u)

(1 / u) = (10 / 3) + 5 = (10 + 15) / 3 = 25 / 3

u = 3 / 25 = 0.12 m

1. Substitute the values into the lens formula:
2. Simplify the fractions:
3. Rearrange the equation to isolate (1 / u):
4. Calculate u:

Answer:

(d) 0.12 m

Since, it is a diverging lens, that is, a concave lens, we have
u = -10 cm, v = -6.5 cm

1/v - 1/u 
1/f   =-1/u - 1/u
1/f   = - 2/u
 u=-2f
 u=-24 cm

If the object is placed at distance of f/2 in front of convex lens of focal length 'f'.
If the object is at f/2 distance then it means it is between the focus and optical centre of lens. And we know, that when an object is placed between the focus and optical centre of convex lens then the image is formed behind the object and the nature of image is virtual, errect and magnified. 
By lens formula ; 
1/f = 1/v - 1/u 
1/f  = 1/v - 1/ (-f/2) 
Solving this we get, 
1/ v = -f/2 /  f²/2 
v = f² /2 / -f/2 = -f 

Focal length= -20(as it is concave lens)
v= -15 (as concave lens always forms virtual and erect image on left of lens)
Putting these values in lens formula,
1/ -20 - 1/u = 1/ -15
-1/ u= 1/-15 + 1/20
-1/u = -4+3/60
-1/u = -1/60
-u = -60
[u =60]

An object should be placed between F₁ and 2 F₁ so as to obtain the image formation used in slide projector. This is because, the image has to be enlarged and has to form at a little larger distance from the projector.

Given : f = 10 cm , m = 2
v / u = 2
v = 2u 
v = 2u -------(1)
according to lens formula , 
1/v - 1/u = 1/f
1/v - 1/u = 1/10 --------(2)
substitute (1) in (2)
1/2u - 1/u = 1/10
1 - 2 / 2u = 1/10
-1 / 2u = 1/10
-10 = 2u
u = -10/2
u = -5 cm
Therfore object should be placed 5 cm away from the lens.
