1. A lens is said to be convex if it is thicker in the middle and narrowing towards the periphery. According to Cartesian sign convention, its focal length is positive.

Given that, f = +10 cm, u = -8 cm,
From thin lens formula,
\(\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{u}\)
∴ \(\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{\text{v}}-\frac{1}{-8}\)
∴ v = 40 cm
Magnification of a lens is,
m = \(\frac{v}{u}=\frac{Object\,size\,h-i}{Object\,size\,h-0}\)
∴ \(\frac{40}{8}=\frac{h_1}{0.5}\)
∴ h1 = 2.5 cm
This implies the height of the...
Given: f0 = 1.3 m, fe = 0.05 m
To find:
i. Magnifying power of telescope (M.P.)
ii. Length of telescope (L)
Formulae:
i. M.P = \(\frac{f_0}{f_e}\)
ii. L = f0 + fe
Calculation: From formula (i),
M.P = \(\frac{1.3}{0.05}\) = 26
From formula (ii),
L...
