An object 2.4 m in front of a lens forms a sharp image on a film 12cm behind the lens. A glass plate 1 cm thick, of refractive index 1.50 is interposed between lens and film with its plane faces parallel to film. At what distance (from lens) should object be shifted to be in sharp focus on film?

Options

A. 5.6 m
B. 7.2 m
C. 2.4 m
D. 3.2 m

Answer

A

Explanation

`(1)/(f) = (1)/(v) - (1)/(u) = (1)/(12) - (1)/((-240)) implies f = (240)/(21)`

Shift = `h(1 - (1)/(mu)) = 1 (1- (1)/(1.5)) = (1)/(3) cm`
To get image at film, lens should form image at distance = `12 - (1)/(3) = (35)/(3) , (1)/(v) - (1)/(u)`
`implies (21)/(240) = (3)/(35) - (1)/(u) implies u = -560 cm`
