The distance between object and the screen is D. Real images of an object are formed on the screen two positions of a lens separated by a distance $\mathrm{d}$. What will be the ratio between the sizes of two images? (A) $\left(\mathrm{D}^{2} / \mathrm{d}^{2}\right)$ (B) $(\mathrm{D} / \mathrm{d})$ (C) $\sqrt{(\mathrm{D} / \mathrm{d})}$ (D) $\left[(\mathrm{D}-\mathrm{d})^{2} /(\mathrm{D}+\mathrm{d})^{2}\right]$

Key Concepts

Geometric Relations in Lens Movements

The analysis of how the lens shifts between two positions, separated by a measurable distance, allows for the derivation of relationships between the image sizes. By relating the sum and difference of the object and image distances to the displacement of the lens, one can compute ratios of image magnifications in a systematic way.

Dual Lens Positions for Fixed Object-Screen Separations

When the distance between the object and the screen is fixed and exceeds a certain minimum (typically 4f for a converging lens), there are two distinct positions of the lens that produce real images. These dual positions lead to two different magnifications whose product equals unity, illustrating the reciprocal relationship between them.

Magnification in Optical Systems

Magnification describes the ratio of the image size to the object size, and in thin lens systems it is given by m = v/u. This concept is central to understanding how changing the distances between the lens, object, and image affects the scale of the image produced.

Thin Lens Equation

This is a fundamental relation in geometrical optics that links the object distance (u), image distance (v), and the focal length (f) of a lens through the equation 1/u + 1/v = 1/f. It is essential for determining where an image will form and underlies the analysis of image formation in lens systems.
