Sudha finds out that the sharp image of the window pane of her science laboratory is formed at a distance of `15 cm` from the lens. She now tries to focus the building visible to her outside the window instead of the window pane without disturbing the lens. In which direction will she move the screen to obtain a sharp image of the building ? What is the approximate focal length of this lens ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

To obtain a sharp image of the building instead of the window pane, Sudha will have to move the screen slightly towards the lens.

A 4 cm tall object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens. The distance of the object from the optical centre of the lens is 12 cm and its sharp image is formed at a distance of 24 cm from it on a screen on the other side of the lens. if the object if now moved a little away from the lens, in which way (towards the lens or away from the lens) will he have to move the screen to get a sharp image of the object on it again? How will the magnification of the image be affected ?
