A convex lens of focal length 20 cm can produce a magnified virtual as well as real image.
Is this a correct statement ? If yes, where shall the object be placed in each case for obtaining these images ?
The statement is correct.
A convex lens of focal length 20 cm will produce a magnified Virtual image if object is placed at a distance less than 20 cm from the lens.
A convex lens of focal length 20 cm will produce a magnified real image if object is placed at a distance greater than 20 cm and less than 40 cm from the lens.
Sudha finds out that the sharp image of the window pane of her science laboratory is formed at a distance of 15 cm from the lens. She now tries
to focus the building visible to her outside the window instead of the window pane without disturbing the lens.
