An object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a convex lens of focal length 20cm. On the far side of the lens, a concave mirror of focal length 10cm is placed such that the distance of the object from the concave mirror is 100 cm. Then the final image which is formed after refraction from the lens, reflection from the mirror and again refraction from the lens, will be

A

at a distance of 40cm from the lens and of the same size of the object

B

at a distance of 20cm from the lens and of the same size of the object

C

D

at a distance of 40 cm from the lens and of half the size of the object

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving the convex lens and the concave mirror. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Object distance from the convex lens, \( u_1 = -40 \, \text{cm} \) (negative as per sign convention) - Focal length of the convex lens, \( f_1 = +20 \, \text{cm} \) (positive for convex lens) - Focal length of the concave mirror, \( f_2 = -10 \, \text{cm} \) (negative for concave mirror) - Distance from the lens to the mirror, which we will calculate. ### Step 2: Calculate the image distance from the convex lens Using the lens formula: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{v_1} = \frac{1}{f_1} + \frac{1}{u_1} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{1}{v_1} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{-40} \] Calculating the right-hand side: \[ \frac{1}{v_1} = \frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{40} = \frac{2 - 1}{40} = \frac{1}{40} \] Thus, \[ v_1 = 40 \, \text{cm} \] This image is formed on the opposite side of the lens. ### Step 3: Determine the object distance for the concave mirror The distance from the lens to the mirror is \( 60 \, \text{cm} \) (since the total distance from the object to the mirror is \( 100 \, \text{cm} \) and the object is \( 40 \, \text{cm} \) from the lens). Therefore, the object distance for the concave mirror is: \[ u_2 = - (60 - 40) = -20 \, \text{cm} \] (negative because the object is on the same side as the incoming light). ### Step 4: Calculate the image distance from the concave mirror Using the mirror formula: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{v_2} = \frac{1}{f_2} - \frac{1}{u_2} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{1}{v_2} = \frac{1}{-10} - \frac{1}{-20} \] Calculating the right-hand side: \[ \frac{1}{v_2} = -\frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{20} = -\frac{2}{20} + \frac{1}{20} = -\frac{1}{20} \] Thus, \[ v_2 = -20 \, \text{cm} \] This means the image formed by the concave mirror is \( 20 \, \text{cm} \) in front of the mirror (on the same side as the object). ### Step 5: Determine the object distance for the convex lens again The distance from the lens to the image formed by the mirror is \( 60 \, \text{cm} - 20 \, \text{cm} = 40 \, \text{cm} \). Therefore, the object distance for the convex lens is: \[ u_3 = -40 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the final image distance from the convex lens Using the lens formula again: \[ \frac{1}{v_3} = \frac{1}{f_1} + \frac{1}{u_3} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \frac{1}{v_3} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{-40} \] Calculating the right-hand side: \[ \frac{1}{v_3} = \frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{40} = \frac{2 - 1}{40} = \frac{1}{40} \] Thus, \[ v_3 = 40 \, \text{cm} \] ### Conclusion The final image formed after refraction from the lens, reflection from the mirror, and again refraction from the lens is located at: - **Final image distance from the lens = 40 cm (on the opposite side of the lens)** - **Nature of the image: inverted and of the same size as the object.**
