A beam of light converges to a point P. ...

A beam of light converges to a point `P`. A lens is placed in the path of the covergent beam `12 cm` from `P`. At what point does the beam converge if the lens is
(a) a convex lens of focal length `20 cm`
(b) a concave lens of focal length `16 cm` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will use the lens formula: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \] where: - \( f \) is the focal length of the lens, ...
