(N/A) To find the image of an object by a lens,we can in principle,take any two rays emanating from a point on an object; trace their paths using the laws of refraction and find the point where the refracted rays meet (or appear to meet). In practice,however,it is convenient to choose any two of the following rays:
$(i)$ $A$ ray emanating from the object parallel to the principal axis of the lens after refraction passes through the second principal focus $F^{\prime}$ (in a convex lens) or appears to diverge (in a concave lens) from the first principal focus $F$.
$(ii)$ $A$ ray of light,passing through the optical centre of the lens,emerges without any deviation after refraction.
$(iii)$ $A$ ray of light passing through the first principal focus (for a convex lens) or appearing to meet at it (for a concave lens) emerges parallel to the principal axis after refraction.
It must be remembered that each point on an object gives out an infinite number of rays. All these rays will pass through the same image point after refraction at the lens.

If the central portion of a convex lens is wrapped in black paper as shown in the figure,

$A$ magnifying lens has a focal length of $10 \, cm$. If the image is formed at a distance of $30 \, cm$ from the lens,what is the magnification?

$A$ thin lens of material having refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and focal length of $20 \ cm$ in air has two media of different refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.2$ and $\mu_2 = 2.5$ covering the upper and lower halves of the lens,respectively,as shown in the figure. If an object is placed on the principal axis,then its two images will be formed,one after refraction from the upper part and the other after refraction from the lower part. Considering the object to be at $\infty$,the separation between the two images formed would be ...... $cm$.

In the diagram shown,the lens is moving towards the object with a velocity $V \, m/s$ and the object is also moving towards the lens with the same speed. What is the speed of the image with respect to the earth when the object is at a distance $2f$ from the lens? ($f$ is the focal length.)

When an object is at a distance $u_1$ and $u_2$ from a lens,a real image and a virtual image are formed,respectively,having the same magnification $m$. The focal length of the lens is:
