Question

An object of height 2.5 cm is placed at a distance of 15 cm from the optical centre 'O' of a convex lens of focal length 10 cm. Draw a ray diagram to find the position and size of the image formed. Mark optical centre 'O', principal focus F and height of the image on the diagram.

Solution

The required ray diagram is drawn as follows :

The image is formed at a distance 30 cm from the optical centre 'O', and the size of the image formed is 5 cm.
