A student performs an experiment on finding the focal length of a convex lens by keeping a lighted candle on one end of laboratory table, a screen on its other end and the lens between them as shown in figure.

The positions of the three are adjusted to get a sharp image of the candle flame on the screen.

If now the candle flame were to be replaced by a distant lamp on a far away electric pole, the student would be able to get a sharp image of this distant lamp on the screen by moving—

Mohan, Sohan and Rahul separately measured the focal length of the same convex lens using the same distant tree as object. All of them measured the distance between the lens and the inverted image of the tree on the screen. Mohan obtained a sharp image on the screen and labelled the measured distance as f1

Sohan obtained a slightly smaller and somewhat blurred image on the screen. He labelled the measured distance as f2

Rahul obtained a slightly magnified and blurred image on the screen. He labelled the measured distance as f3.

The three measured values of focal length are likely to be related as—

To determine the focal length of a convex lens by obtaining a sharp image of a distant object, the following steps were suggested which are not in proper sequence —

(I) Hold the lens between the object and the screen.

(II) Adjust the position of the lens to form a sharp image.

(III) Select a suitable distant object.

(IV) Measure the distance between the lens and the screen.

The correct sequence of steps to determine the focal length of the lens is

A student obtained a sharp image of a burning candle, placed at the farther end of a laboratory table, on a screen using a concave mirror. For getting better value of focal length of the mirror, the subject teacher suggested him for focussing a well illuminated distant object. What should the student do?
