(a) By adding a suitable light ray on the figure, find the position of the lens and draw the lens
on the figure. (2 marks)
(b) By adding a suitable light ray on the figure, find the focal length of the lens. (2 marks)

Focal length of the lens = ________________ concave
(c) Now the lens is replaced by another type of lens of the same focal length and a diminished
and erect image is formed. If the distance between the image and the lens is 5 cm, find the

(b) Figure 2.2 shows the position of the bird in front of the lens. F and F’ are the foci of the
lens. p and q are light rays from the bird.

Figure 2.2

Draw suitable light rays in Figure 2.2 to construct the image of the bird (denote it as I )
formed by the lens. Also, complete light rays p and q in Figure 2.2. (3 marks)
3. An object is placed in front of a lens as shown in Figure 3.1. p and q are two light rays from the
object.

Figure 3.1

(a) (i) In Figure 3.1, draw suitable light rays to construct the image formed by the lens
(denote it as I ) and complete the path of light ray p. (2 marks)

(ii) Hence find the focal length of the lens. (1 mark)

Focal length: ___________________

(iii) State the nature of the image. (3 marks)

(b) Describe the change of size of the image and the distance between the image and the lens
if the object is moved slightly away from the lens. (2 marks)

4. Anthony uses the set-up to study the image formation of a convex lens of focal length 6 cm. He
puts an illuminated letter ‘F’ 1.5 cm in front of the lens as shown in Figure 4.1. A translucent
screen is placed 12 cm away from the lens.

Figure 4.1

(a) Find the distance between the image of the letter and the lens. (2 marks)

(b) Anthony finds that the image cannot be captured by the screen. If the screen is moved to
the distance found in (a) from the lens, can he capture the image on the screen? Explain
briefly. (2 marks)
