Question
ICSEENIPH10005535

i) Where should an object be placed so that a real and inverted image of the same size as the object is obtained using a convex lens? 
ii) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image as specified in the part a (i).

Solution

i) When object is placed at 2F1 (centre of curvature) distance from the optical centre on the principal axis of a convex lens a real and inverted image of the same size of object is formed.
ii)

Ranbir claims to have obtained an image twice the size of the object with a concave lens. Is he correct? Give a reason for your answer. 

Solution

No, Ranbir is not correct.
Using, concave lens only small size upright images are obtained. 
An image twice the size of the object with a concave lens cannot be obtained.
