Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A lens has a focal length of 50 cm. If an object is placed at 100 cm, what type of image is formed?
  • Step 1: Identify the focal length of the lens, which is given as 50 cm.
  • Step 2: Identify the object distance, which is given as 100 cm.
  • Step 3: Compare the object distance (100 cm) with the focal length (50 cm).
  • Step 4: Since the object distance (100 cm) is greater than the focal length (50 cm), we can conclude that a real image is formed.
  • Step 5: Remember that real images formed by lenses are also inverted.
  • Lens Formula – The relationship between object distance, image distance, and focal length in lens systems.
  • Image Characteristics – Understanding the nature of images formed by lenses, including whether they are real or virtual, and upright or inverted.
