A convex lens focusses an object 10 cm from it on a screen placed 10 cm away from it. A glass plate `(mu=1.5)` of thickenss 1.5 cm is inserted between the lens and the screen. Where should the object be placed so that its image is again focussed on the screen?

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation before and after the insertion of the glass plate. ### Step 1: Analyze the initial situation without the glass plate 1. **Given Data**: - Object distance (u) = -10 cm (the negative sign indicates that the object is on the same side as the incoming light). - Image distance (v) = +10 cm (the positive sign indicates that the image is on the opposite side of the lens). 2. **Using the Lens Formula**: ...

A convex lens forms an image of an object on a screen 30 cm from the lens. When the lens is moved 90 cm towards the object, then the image is again formed on the screen. Then, the focal length of the lens is

A thin converging lens of focal length f = 25 cm forms the image of an object on a screen placed at a distance of 75 cm from the lens. Now the screen in moved closer to the lens by a distance of 25 cm. The distance through which the object has to be shifted so that its image on the screen is sharp again is

A lens with a focal length of f=30 cm produces on a screen a sharp image of an object that is at a distance of a=40 cm from the lens. A plane parallel plate with thickness of d=9 cm is placed between the lens and the object perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens. Through what distance should the screen be shifted for the image of the object to remain distinct? The refractive index of the glass of the plate is mu=1.8.

A point object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens (f = 15 cm) at a distance of 30 cm from it. A glass plate (mu= 1.50) of thickness 1 cm is placed on the other side of the lens perpendicular to the axis. Locate the image of the point object.

A concave mirror forms an image of 20 cm high object on a screen placed 5.0 m away from the mirror. The height of the image is 50 cm. Find the focal length of the mirror and the distance between the mirror and the object.

Two thin similar watch glass pieces are joined together,front to front ,with rear convex portion silvered and the combination of glass pieces is placed at a distance a=60cm from a screen.A small object is placed normal to the optical axis of the combination such that its image is two time the object. Now water is filled in between the glass. water mu=4//3 ,calculated the distance through,which the object must be displayed so that a sharp image is again formed on the screen.

A convex lens is put 10 cm from a light source and it makes a sharp image on a screen, kept 10 cm from the lens. Now a glass block (refractive index 1.5) of 1.5 cm thickness is placed in contact with the light source. To get the sharp image again, the screen is shifted by a distance d. Then d is :
