Question
Answer
Define power for a lens?   Power=1/focal length  
What is the unit for power of a lens?   Dioptre, D  
What is the lens formula?   1/f = 1/u + 1/v  
What kind of image is formed from a converging lens, when the object-to-lens distance is smaller than the focal length?   Virtual image  
What are the differences between a real and virtual image?   A real image is inverted and can be formed on a screen, whereas virtual images are upright and cannot be formed on a screen.  
For a converging lens, where must the object be placed to give a real image of the same size as the object?   At u=2f because using: 1/f = 1/u + 1/v when object-size=image-size, u must equal v so you get 1/f = 1/u + 1/u = 2/u therefore u = 2f
