Lens Problems Worksheet

This document contains 14 problems involving lenses and their properties. The problems ask students to calculate image position, height, magnification, and focal length given information about the object position and lens properties like focal length and type (convex or concave). Students must use lens equations to solve for the unknown values in each scenario.

Honors Physics - Lenses Worksheet

1. An object 4 cm high is placed 20 cm in front of a convex lens of focal length 12


cm. What is the position and height of the image?

2. An object is 5 cm. in front of a convex lens of focal length 7.5 cm. What is the
position and magnification of the image?

3. An object is 9 cm high and is placed 27 cm in front of a concave lens of focal


length 18 cm. What is the position and height of the image?

4. Compute the position and focal length of the converging lens which will project
the image of a lamp, magnified 4 times, upon a screen located 10 meters from
the lamp.

5. A 20 cm tall object is placed 40 cm in front of a diverging lens with a focal length


of 65 cm. (a) What is the resulting image distance ? (b) Find the image size. (c)
What is the magnification?

6. An object is placed 80 cm from a screen. A converging lens with a 20 cm focal


length is then placed between the object and the screen and used to form a
focused image on the screen. Find (a) the distance from the object for the
placement of the lens, (b) the magnification.

7. When an object is placed 8 cm. in front of a convex lens, an erect image is


formed 12 cm from the lens. Find the focal length.

8. An 8 cm high object is placed 6 cm to the left of a concave lens of focal length 8


cm. (a) Where is the image ? (b) Is it real or virtual? (c) Erect or inverted? (d)
How large is it?

9. An object is placed 45 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 25 cm. (a)
What is the resulting image distance (b) What is the resulting magnification?

10. A diverging lens with a focal length of 30 cm forms an image 10 cm from the
lens. (a) How far from the lens is the object? b. What is the magnification?

11. A converging lens has a focal length of 20 cm. An object is placed 50 cm from
the lens and a 3 cm tall image is formed. (a) At what distance from the lens is the
image formed? (b) What is the height of the object?

12. A convex lens has a focal length of 10 cm. An object 2 cm tall is placed in front of
the lens. (a) At what distance will the image appear inverted and 2 cm tall? (b) At
what object distance will the image appear erect and have a magnification of 3?

13. An object placed 6 cm from a lens produces a virtual image 5 cm from the lens.
(a) What is the focal length of the lens? (b) Is the lens convex or concave? (c)
What is the magnification?

14. In what two positions will a converging lens of focal length 7.5 cm form images of
a candle on a screen spaced 40 cm from the object?
