Alens is placed between a source of light and a wall. It forms images of are `A_(1)` and `A_(2)` on the wall, for its two different positions, the area of the source of light is

A

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

B

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

C

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

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))`
