Q143 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2018 (05 May Shift 2) · Physics

Two objects $P$ and $Q$ are placed at $10 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $30 \mathrm{~cm}$ infront of a convex lens of focal length $20 \mathrm{~cm}$. The correct option for the image of $P$ and $Q$ is

  • A
    $\quad P$ virtual and inverted real and upright
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\quad P$ virtual and upright real and inverted
  • C
    $P$ real and inverted $Q$ virtual and upright
  • D
    $\quad P$ real and upright $Q$ virtual and inverted

Solution

Focal length of convex lens $=20 \mathrm{~cm}$ Here, object $P$ is at $10 \mathrm{~cm}$ and object $Q$ is at $30 \mathrm{~cm}$. As object $P$ is between focus and pole, it's image is virtual and erect. Object $Q$ is beyond focus, so it's image is real and inverted.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
