A concave convex figure lens made of glas `(mu=1.5)` has surface of radii 20 cm and 60 cm. a. Locate the image ofan object placed 80 cm to the left of the lens along the principal axis. B. A similar lens is placed coaxially at distanc of 160 cm right of it. Locate the position of the image.

Verified by Experts

The focal length of the lens is given by
`1/f=(mu-1)(1/R_1-1/R_2)`
`=(1.5-1)(1/(20cm)-1/(60 cm))=1/(60cm)`
or `f=60 cm
a. for the image formed by lens `u=-80` cm so that
`1/v=1/u+1/f`
`=1/(-80cm)+1/(60cm)=1/(240cm)`
or `v=240 cm`
The first image `I_1` would form 240 cm to the right of the first lens. b. The second lens intercepts the converging beam as suggest by the ure. the image `I_1` acts as a virtual source of the second lens. For the image formed by this lens `u=240cm-160cm=+80` cm so that
`1/v=1/u+1/f`
` =1/(80cm)+1/(60cm)=7/(240cm)`
or `v=34.3cm`
the fiN/Al image is formed 34.3 cm to the right of the second lens.
