If a concave  lens has  focal length of 15 cm then the  distance of that object from the lens such that it forms an image  at 10 cm from the  lens is calculated as follows: 

begin mathsize 12px style straight u space colon negative space the space object space distance straight v space colon negative space the space image space distance straight f space colon negative the space focal space length space of space straight a space lens B y space l e n s space f o r m u l a comma space 1 over straight v minus 1 over straight u equals 1 over straight f As space the space lens space is space concave comma space the space image space so space formed space is space always space vir t ual comma space therefore space apostrophe straight v apostrophe space is space negative. Also comma space the space focal space length space of space straight a space concave space lens space is space negative. minus 1 over 10 minus 1 over straight u equals negative 1 over 15 minus 1 over straight u equals negative 1 over 15 plus 1 over 10 1 over straight u equals fraction numerator negative 10 plus 15 over denominator 150 end fraction equals 5 over 150 equals 1 over 30 straight u equals negative 30 space cm end style
The magnification of lens is
begin mathsize 12px style Magnification space left parenthesis straight M right parenthesis equals negative straight v over straight u equals negative fraction numerator 10 over denominator negative 30 end fraction equals 1 third end style 
As, magnification is less than 1 the size of image is less than object size.
The image formed by concave lens is at same side as that of object. 
Thus, nature of image is virtual, erect and diminished.

 35. A student focuses the image of a candle flame, placed at about 2 m from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm, on a screen. After that he moves gradually the flame towards the lens and each time focuses its image on the screen. (A) In which direction does he move the lens to focus the flame on the screen? (B) What happens to the size of the image of the flame formed on the screen? (C) What difference is seen in the intensity (brightness) of the image of the flame on the screen? (D) What is seen on the screen when the flame is very close (at about 5 cm) to the lens?
