An image I is formed of point object O by a lens whose optic axis is AB as shown in figure.

(a) State whether it is a convex lens or concave?
(b) Draw a ray diagram to locate the lens and its focus.

(i) Concave lens always forms an erect image. The given image I is on the other
side of the optic axis. Hence, the lens is convex.
(ii) Join O with I. Line OI cuts the optic axis AB at optical centre (P) of the lens. The dotted line
shows the position of lens.

From point O, draw a line parallel to AB. Let it cut the dotted line at M. Join M with I. Line
MI cuts the optic axis at focus (F) of the lens.

An image Y is formed of a point object x by a lens whose optic axis is AB as shown in Figure. Draw a ray diagram to locate the lens and its focus. If the image Y of object X is formed by a concave mirror (having the same optic axis AB) instead of lens, draw another ray diagram to locate the mirror and its focus. Write down the steps of construction of the ray diagrams.

A virtual, diminished image is formed when an object is placed between the optical centre and the principal focus of a lens. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image with the above stated characteristics.

The figure shows an arrangement of an equi-convex lens and a concave mirror. A point object O is placed on the principal axis at a distance 40 cm from the lens such that the final image is also formed at the position of the object. If the radius of curvature of the concave mirror is 80 cm, find the distance d. Also draw the ray diagram. The focal length of the lens in air is 20 cm.

A convex lens of focal length 10 cm and a concave lens of same focal length in value are placed co-axially at a separation of 20 cm as shown in figure. A point object is at infinity on the principal axis. Take the optic center of convex lens as origin of co ordinate system and the principal axis as x-axis as shown in figure. In the initial positin (as given in the passage ) if the concave lens has a velocit of 9 cm/s towards the convex lens, the velocity of the final image will be
