A point source of light is placed on the principal axis between F and 2F of a concave lens. On the other very far , a screen is placed perpendicular to principal axis. As the screen is brought close towards lens

A

the light intensity on screen continuously decreases

B

the light intensity on screen continuously increases

C

the light intensity on screen first increases, then decreases

D

the light intensity on screen first decreases, then increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Concave lens behaves as divergent lens and diverges the beam of light as passes from lens . When the screen is brought close towards lens it receive more number of rays hence light intensity increases.
