A convex lens produces an image of a condle flame upon a screen whose distance from candle is D. When the lens is displaced through a distance x , (the distance between the candle and the screen is kept constant), it is found that a sharp image is again produced upon the screen. Find the focal length of the lens in terms of D and x .

The image of a candle flame formed by a lens is obtained on a screen placed on the other side of the lens. If the image is three times the size of the flame and the distance between lens and image is 80 cm, at what distance should the candle be placed from the lens ? What is the nature of the image at a distance of 80 cm from the lens ?
