1. Power of lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length. If P is the power of a lens of focal length F in metres, then P= 1/f(in metres) The S.I. unit of power of a lens is Dioptre. It is denoted by D. 1 dioptre is defined as the power of a lens of focal length 1 metre. 1 D = 1 m−¹ For more aRead more

  2. Power of a lens, P = 1/f (in meters) Power, P = 1.5d F = 1/1.5 = 10/15 = 0.66m A convex lens has a positive focal length. Hence, it is a convex lens or a converging lens. For more answers visit to website: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/class-10/science/chapter-10/

    Power of a lens, P = 1/f (in meters)
    Power, P = 1.5d
    F = 1/1.5 = 10/15 = 0.66m
    A convex lens has a positive focal length. Hence, it is a convex lens or a converging lens.

  3. Power of a lens, P = 1/f (in meters) P = -2 D f = -1/2 = -0.5m A concave lens has a negative focal length. Hence, it is a concave lens. For more answers visit to website: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/class-10/science/chapter-10/

    Power of a lens, P = 1/f (in meters)
    P = -2 D
    f = -1/2 = -0.5m
    A concave lens has a negative focal length. Hence, it is a concave lens.

  4. Object distance, u = −27 cm Object height, h = 7 cm Focal length, f = −18 cm According to the mirror formula, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f 1/v = 1/f – 1/u = -1/18 + 1/27 = -1/54 V = -54 cm The screen should be placed at a distance of 54 cm in front of the given mirror. Magnification, m = - Image Distance/ObjectRead more

    Object distance, u = −27 cm
    Object height, h = 7 cm
    Focal length, f = −18 cm
    According to the mirror formula,
    1/u + 1/v = 1/f
    1/v = 1/f – 1/u = -1/18 + 1/27 = -1/54
    V = -54 cm
    The screen should be placed at a distance of 54 cm in front of the given mirror.
    Magnification, m = – Image Distance/Object Distance = -54/27 = -2
    The negative value of magnification indicates that the image formed is real.
    Magnification, m = Height of the image / Height of the object = h’/h
    h‘ = 7 x (-2) = -14 cm
    The negative value of image height indicates that the image formed is inverted.

    Object distance, u = −20 cm Object height, h = 5 cm Radius of curvature, R = 30 cm Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length R = 2f f = 15 cm According to the mirror formula, 1/v + 1/u = 1/f 1/v = 1/f – 1/u = 1/15 + 1/20 = 4+3/60 = 7/60 V =8.57 The positive value of v indicates that the image is formedRead more

    Object distance, u = −20 cm
    Object height, h = 5 cm
    Radius of curvature, R = 30 cm
    Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length
    R = 2f f = 15 cm
    According to the mirror formula,
    1/v + 1/u = 1/f
    1/v = 1/f – 1/u = 1/15 + 1/20 = 4+3/60 = 7/60
    V =8.57
    The positive value of v indicates that the image is formed behind the mirror.
    Magnification, m = – Image Distance/Object Distance = -8.57/-20 = 0.428
    The positive value of Magnification indicates that the image is formed is virtual.
    Magnification, m = Height of the image / Height of the object = h’/h
    h’ m x h = 0.428 x 5 = 2.14 cm
    The positive value of image height indicates that the image formed is erect.
    Therefore, the image formed is virtual, erect, and smaller in size.
