A lens if placed between a source of light and a wall. It forms images of area` A_(1)` and `A_(2)` on the wall for its two different positions. The area of the source or light is

A

`sqrt(A_(1)A_(2))`

B

`(A_(1) + A_(2))/(2)`

C

`((sqrt(A_(1)) + sqrt(A_(2)))/(2))^(2)`

D

None

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Am = `A_(1) , A((1)/(m)) = A_(2)`
`implies A^(2) = A_(1)A_(2) implies A = sqrt(A_(1)A_(2))`

A lens is placed between the source of light and a wall. It forms images of area A_(1) and A_(2) on the wall for its two displaced positions. The area of source of light is

List out the difference between a point source and an extended source of light.

A source of light is located at a disatnce l = 90 cm from a screen. A thin converging lens provides the sharp image of the source when placed between the source of light and the screen at two positions. Determine the focal length o fthe lens if (a) the distance between the two positions of the lens is Delta l = 30 cm , (b) the transverse diamensions of the image at one position o fthe lens are eta = 4.0 greater than those at the pther position.

A screen is placed a distance 40 cm away from an illuminated object. A converging lens is palced between the source and the screen and it is attempted to form the image of the source on the screen. If no position could be found, the focal length of the lens

The internal surface of the walls of a sphere is specular (i.e. reflecting). The radius of the sphere is R = 36 cm . A point source S is placed at a distance R//2 from the centre of the sphere and sends light to the remote part of the sphere. Where will the image of the source be after two successive reflection from the remote and then the nearest wall of the sphere ? How wil the position of the image change if the source sends light to the nearest wall first ? Consider paraxial rays.
