Image Formation by Lenses

A sharp image...

Question

A sharp image of a distant object is obtained on a screen by using a convex lens. In order to determine the focal length of the lens, you need to measure the distance between the :
(1) lens and the object
(2) lens and the screen
(3) object and the screen
(4) lens and the screen and also between object and the screen

Solution

A convex lens converges all the rays coming from a distant object on its focus to form a real image. If the image is obtained on a screen placed at the focal point of the lens, then the distance between the lens and the screen would be the focal length of the lens.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Q. While performing an experiment on determining the focal length of a convex lens, a student obtains a sharp inverted image of the laboratory window grill on the screen and measures the distance between the screen and the lens. She then repeats the experiment and takes a distant tree as the object in the second case. In order to get a sharp image of the tree on the screen, she will now have to move the screen:
(1) slightly nearer to the lens
(2) slightly farther away from the lens
(3) very close to the lens
(4) very far away from the lens
