What is the focal length of lens if the image distance remain same by keeping object at 24 cm and 16 cm from lens ?

In an experiment to measure the focal length of a concave mirror. If was found that for an object distance of 0.30 m, the image distance come out to be 0.60 m. Let us determine the focal length.

A convex lens of focal length f forms an image which is 1/3 times the size of the object. Then, the distance of object from the lends is

In an experiment to determine the focal length (f) of a concave mirror by the u-v method, a student places the object pin A on the principal axis at a distance x from the pole P. The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance keeping his/her eye in line with PA. When the student shifts his/her eye towards left, the image appears to the right of the object pin. Then,

In an optics experiment, with the position of the object fixed, a student varies the position of a convex lens and for each position, the screen is adjusted to get a clear image of the object. A graph between the object distance u and the image distance v, from the lens, is plitted using the same scale for the two axes. A straight line passing through the origin and making an angle of 45^circ with x-axis meets the experimental curve at P. The coordinates of P will be.

A student measures the terminal potential difference (V) of a cell (of emf epsilon and internal resistance r ) as a function of the current (I) flowing through it. The slope and intercept of the graph between V and I is

A thin convex lens of focal length 'f' is put on a plane mirror as shown in the figure. When an object is kept at a distance 'a' from the lens - mirror combination,its image is formed at a distance (a)/(3) in front of the combination . The value of 'a' is :-

A concave lens has focal length of 15 cm. At what distance should the object from the lens be placed so that it forms an image at 10 cm from the lens ? Also find the magnification produced by the lens.

An object is kept at a distance of 16 cm from a thin lens and the image formed is real. If the object is kept at a distance of 6 cm from the same lens, the image formed is virtual. If the size of the image formed are equal, the focal length of the lens will be
