The central portion of a lens is wrapped in black paper as shown below. An object is placed at 90 cm with the centre of curvature at 40 cm. Find the number of images formed.
1 image
The same number of the image will be formed at the same place by the light rays passing from the top and bottom of the lens. The rays that were passing earlier through the black region are not passing now so the intensity of the image will be reduced.
