An extended object is placed at a distance of 5.0 cm from a convex lens of focal length 8.0 cm. (a) Draw the ray diagram (to the scale) to locate the image and from this, measure the distance of the image from the lens, (b) Find the position of the image from the lens formula and see how close the drawing is to the correct result.

Figure shows an equiconvex lens (of refractive index 1.50 ) in contact with a liquid layer on top of a plane mirror. A small needle with its tip on the principal axis is moved along the axis until its inverted image is found at the position of the needle. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be 45.0 cm. The liquid is removed and the experiment is repeated . the new distance is measured to be 30.0 cm. What is the refractive index of the liquid ?

In spherical lenses, all distance are measured from ___________.

The ratio of kinetic energy to the potential energy of a particle executing SHM at a distance equal to half its amplitude, the distance being measured from its equilibrium position is:

A young boy can adjust the power of his eye lens between 50 D and 60 D. His far point is infinity. A. What is the distance of his retina from the eye-lens? b. What is the near point?

For a given lens, the magnification was found to be twice as large as when object was 0.15 m distant from it as when the distance was 0.2 m. The focal length of the lens is

A pin of length 2.00 cm is placed perpendicular to the principal axis of a converging lens. An inverted image of size 1.00 cm is formed at a distance of 40.0 cm from the pin. Find the focal length of the lens and its distance from the pin.

If the distance D between an object and screen than 4 times the focal length of a convex lens, then there are two positions of the lens for which image are formed on the screen. This method is called conjugate method. If d is the distance between the two positions of the lens, obtain the equation for focal length of the convex lens.
