1. A convex lens makes a real image 4 cm
long on a screen. When the lens is 5. A convex lens is used to form real
shifted to a new position without image of an object on a screen. It is
disturbing the object, we again get a real observed that even when the positions of
image on the screen which is 16 cm tall. the object and that screen are fixed there
The length of the object must be are two positions of the lens to form real
images. If the heights of the images are
