A lens if placed between a source of light and a wall. It forms images of area` A_(1)` and `A_(2)` on the wall for its two different positions. The area of the source or light is

A

(a)`sqrt(A_(1)A_(2))`

B

(b)`(A_(1) + A_(2))/(2)`

C

(c)`((sqrt(A_(1)) + sqrt(A_(2)))/(2))^(2)`

D

(d)None

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Am = `A_(1) , A((1)/(m)) = A_(2)`
`implies A^(2) = A_(1)A_(2) implies A = sqrt(A_(1)A_(2))`
