A good photographic print is obtained by an exposure of two seconds at a distance of `20` cm from the lamp. Calculate the time of exposure required to get an equally good result at a distance of `40` cm.

We know that the intensity of light varies inversely as the `("distance")^(2)` . When distance is doubled, the intensity becomes one-fourth . So , the time of exposure should be four times. Hence , time of exposure =`2xx 4 = 8 "s"`

An object is kept at a distance of 16 cm from a thin lens and the image formed is real. If the object is kept at a distance of 6 cm from the same lens, the image formed is virtual. If the size of the image formed are equal, the focal length of the lens will be

The proper exposure time for a photographic print is 20 s at a distance of 0.6 m from a 40 candles power lamb.How long will you expose the same print at a distance of 1.2 m from a 20 candles power lamb?

Two identical glass rods S_(1) and S_(2) (refractive index=1.5) have one convex end of radius of curvature 10 cm. They are placed with the curved surfaces at a distance d as shown in the figure, with their axes (shown by the dashed line) aligned. When a point source of light P is placed inside rod S_(1) on its axis at a distance of 50 cm from the curved face, the light rays emenating from it are found to be parallel to the axis inside S_(2) . The distance d is

A compound microscope consists of an objective lens of focal length 2.0 cm and an eyepiece of focal length 6.25 cm separated by a distance of 15cm. How far from the objective should an object be placed in order to obtain the final image at (a) the least distance of distinct vision (25cm), and (b) at infinity? What is the magnifying power of the microscope in each case?
