Question
What is the magnification of the resulting image when an object is twice as far from a convex lens as the focal length?A.0.5×B.1×C.2×D.4×
Solution
The magnification (m) of a lens is given by the formula m = -i/o, where i is the image distance and o is the object distance.
For a convex lens, when the object is at a distance of 2f (twice the focal length), the image is formed on the other side of the lens also at 2f.
So, the image distance i = -2f (the negative sign indicates that the image is formed on the opposite side of the lens from where the light is coming).
The object distance o = 2f.
Substituting these values into the magnification formula gives m = -(-2f)/2f = 1.
So, the magnification of the resulting image when an object is twice as far from a convex lens as the focal length is 1× (Option B).

A convex lens has a focal length of 15 cm. When an object AB is kept at x distance from the lens, then the image formed has magnification +3 but when the object is further displaced by y distance away from the lens as shown in the figure then image formed has magnification –3.

Calculate the image distance in convex lens whose magnification 2 for real image and object distance is 30cm.
A simple magnifier is made using a single convex lens by placing the object closer than the focal point. To maximise the magnification the object is placed so the image is formed at the near point. By convention this is taken to be 0.25 m from the lens.For a lens with focal length f = 0.08 m, calculate the magnification produced. (You will first need to calculate the object distance, o, required to produce a virtual image at the near point i= -0.25 m.)Express answer to two decimal places.
The graph shows how the magnification m produced by a thin lens varies with image distance v. What is the focal length of the lens used?
