Question

If half part of a convex lens is covered, the focal length _____ change, but the intensity of the image ________.

• A. does, increases
• B. does not, increases
• C. does, decreases
• D. does not, decreases

Answer 1

The correct option is D does not, decreases

When half of the convex lens is covered, say with black paper, the rays of light occurs and image will be formed as how the normal lens receives, which means that the focal length remains the same, but, only the brightness or intensity of the light will be diminished due to the covering of black paper.
Hence, If half part of a convex lens is covered, the focal length does not change, but the intensity of the image decreases.
