Q. What is the focal length of a lens if it forms an image at infinity when the object is placed at 30 cm?
A.
30 cm
B.
15 cm
C.
60 cm
D.
20 cm
Show solution
Solution
For the image to be at infinity, the focal length must be equal to the object distance, hence f = 60 cm.
Correct Answer: C — 60 cm

Q. What is the image distance for a concave lens with a focal length of -12 cm when the object is placed at 24 cm?
A.
-8 cm
B.
8 cm
C.
-12 cm
D.
12 cm
Show solution
Solution
Using the lens formula, 1/f = 1/v - 1/u, we find v = -8 cm.
Correct Answer: A — -8 cm

Q. What is the image distance for a convex lens if the object is placed at 10 cm and the focal length is 5 cm?
A.
-15 cm
B.
15 cm
C.
5 cm
D.
10 cm
Show solution
Solution
Using the lens formula 1/f = 1/v - 1/u, we find v = 15 cm.

Q. What is the image distance for a convex lens with a focal length of 10 cm when the object is placed 30 cm from the lens?
A.
5 cm
B.
10 cm
C.
15 cm
D.
20 cm
Show solution
Solution
Using the lens formula 1/f = 1/v - 1/u, we find v = 20 cm.
Correct Answer: D — 20 cm

Q. What is the magnification produced by a convex lens if the object is placed at twice the focal length?
Show solution
Solution
Magnification (m) = v/u. For an object at 2f, the image distance v = 2f, so m = 2f/(2f) = 1.
Correct Answer: A — 1

Q. What is the magnification produced by a lens if the object distance is 15 cm and the image distance is 45 cm?
Show solution
Solution
Magnification (m) = image distance/object distance = 45/15 = 3.
Correct Answer: C — 3

Q. What is the magnification produced by a lens if the object distance is 15 cm and the image distance is 30 cm?
Show solution
Solution
Magnification (m) = image distance/object distance = 30/15 = 2.
Correct Answer: C — 2

Q. What is the magnification produced by a lens if the object distance is 20 cm and the image distance is 10 cm?
Show solution
Solution
Magnification (m) = -v/u = -10/20 = 0.5, but since we consider absolute value, m = 2.
Correct Answer: C — 2

Q. What is the magnification produced by a lens if the object distance is 25 cm and the image distance is 50 cm?
Show solution
Solution
Magnification (m) = -v/u = -50/25 = -2. The absolute value indicates the image is twice the size of the object.
Correct Answer: C — 2

Q. What is the total power of two lenses of power +5 D and -3 D placed in contact?
A.
2 D
B.
8 D
C.
15 D
D.
1 D
Show solution
Solution
Total power P = P1 + P2 = 5 D - 3 D = 2 D.

Q. Which of the following statements is true about a diverging lens?
A.
It always produces real images
B.
It has a positive focal length
C.
It causes parallel rays to diverge
D.
It can focus light to a point
Show solution
Solution
A diverging lens causes parallel rays to diverge, making it impossible to focus light to a point.
Correct Answer: C — It causes parallel rays to diverge

Q. Which of the following statements is true for a converging lens?
A.
It can only form real images.
B.
It can only form virtual images.
C.
It can form both real and virtual images.
D.
It cannot form images.
Show solution
Solution
A converging lens can form both real images (when the object is outside the focal length) and virtual images (when the object is within the focal length).
Correct Answer: C — It can form both real and virtual images.
