A lens of focal length ‘f’ is placed in between an object and screen at a distance ‘D’. The lens forms two real images of object on the screen for two of its different positions, a distance ‘x’ apart. The two real images have magnifications m1 and m2 respectively (m1 > m2).

A boy is trying to start a fire by focussing sunlight on a piece of paper using an equiconvex lens of focal length 10 cm. The diameter of the sun is 1.39 × 109 m and its mean distance from the earth is 1.5 × 1011 m. What is the diameter of the sun's image on the paper ?

The size of the image of an object, which is at infinity, as formed by a convex lens of focal length 30 cm is 2 cm. If a concave lens of focal length 20 cm is placed between the convex lens and image at a distance of 26 cm from the convex lens, calculate the new size of the image.
