Q25.The image of an illuminated square is obtained on a screen with the help of a converging lens. The distance of the square from the lens is 40 cm. The area of the image is 9 times that of the square. The focal length of the lens is : (1) 36 cm (2) 27 cm (3) 60 cm (4) 30 cm
What This Question Tests
This question combines the concepts of lens formula and magnification, specifically relating the area of the image to the area of the object through the square of linear magnification, to find the focal length.
Concepts Tested
Formulas Used
1/f = 1/v - 1/u
m = v/u
Area_image / Area_object = mยฒ

Physics Class 12 ยท Chapter 9
9.22 A card sheet divided into squares each of size 1 mm2 is being viewed at a distance of 9 cm through a magnifying glass (a converging lens of focal length 9 cm) held close to the eye. (a) What is the magnification produced by the lens? How much is the area of each square in the virtual image? (b) What is the angular magnification (magnifying power) of the lens? (c) Is the magnification in (a) equal to the magnifying power in (b)? Explain.

Physics Class 12 ยท Chapter 9
9.1 A small candle, 2.5 cm in size is placed at 27 cm in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature 36 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be placed in order to obtain a sharp image? Describe the nature and size of the image. If the candle is moved closer to the mirror, how would the screen have to be moved?
