Lens Formula and Magnification Formulae for a Concave Lens: Overview

In this topic, we will learn the lens formula, which gives the relationship between image distance, object distance and focal length of a lens. We will discuss the magnification formula. Numerical problems based on concave lenses are also given here.

Important Questions on Lens Formula and Magnification Formulae for a Concave Lens

EASY
IMPORTANT

A concave lens produces an image 20 cm from the lens of an object placed 30 cm from the lens. The focal length of the lens is:

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

The diverging lens of focal length 100 mm is replaced by a converging lens also of focal length 100 mm. The object is placed 150 mm away from the lens and an image is formed by the converging lens. Compare two properties of this image with those of the image formed by the diverging lens.

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A small object is placed 150 mm away from a diverging lens of focal length 100 mm.

Calculate the distance of the image from the lens by using the lens formula.
