Question:

An object approaches a convex lens from distance with a uniform speed of 3 m/s and stops at the focus. The image

Options:

moves away from the lens with an uniform speed of 3 m/s.

moves away from the lens with an uniform acceleration.

moves away from the lens with a non uniform acceleration

moves towards the lens with non uniform acceleration

Correct Answer:

moves away from the lens with a non uniform acceleration

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → moves away from the lens with a non uniform acceleration

The image does not move with constant speed or uniform acceleration because the relationship between object position and image position is non-linear.

The closer the object gets to the focus, the faster the images move away, which indicates non-uniform acceleration.
