A double convex lens forms a real image ...

A double convex lens forms a real image of an objectt on a screen which is fixed. Now lens is given a constant velocity v=1m/s along its axis and away from the screen for the purpose of forming image always on the screen the object is also required to be given appropriate velocity . Find the velocity (in m/s) of the object at the instant its size is doubled the size of the image.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving a double convex lens, the object, and the image formed on a screen. ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have a double convex lens forming a real image of an object on a fixed screen. The lens is moving away from the screen with a constant velocity \( v_0 = 1 \, \text{m/s} \). We need to find the velocity of the object when its size is doubled compared to the size of the image. ### Step 2: Use the Lens Formula The lens formula is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} \] where: - \( f \) is the focal length of the lens, - \( v \) is the image distance, - \( u \) is the object distance. ### Step 3: Differentiate the Lens Formula To find the relationship between the velocities of the object and the image, we differentiate the lens formula with respect to time \( t \): \[ 0 = -\frac{1}{v^2} \frac{dv}{dt} + \frac{1}{u^2} \frac{du}{dt} \] This can be rearranged to: \[ \frac{1}{v^2} \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{1}{u^2} \frac{du}{dt} \] ### Step 4: Substitute Velocities Let: - \( \frac{dv}{dt} = v' \) (the velocity of the image), - \( \frac{du}{dt} = u' \) (the velocity of the object). Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{v'}{v^2} = \frac{u'}{u^2} \] ### Step 5: Express Object Velocity From the above equation, we can express the object velocity \( u' \) in terms of the image velocity \( v' \): \[ u' = \frac{u^2}{v^2} v' \] ### Step 6: Determine the Size Relationship Since the size of the object is double that of the image, we denote the size of the image as \( h \) and the size of the object as \( 2h \). The magnification \( m \) is given by: \[ m = \frac{\text{size of object}}{\text{size of image}} = 2 \] Thus, we can say: \[ m = \frac{h_o}{h_i} = 2 \implies \frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 7: Substitute Magnification into Velocity Equation Now substituting \( m = 2 \) into the velocity equation: \[ u' = \frac{u^2}{v^2} v' = \frac{u^2}{(m \cdot u)^2} v' = \frac{u^2}{(2u)^2} v' = \frac{1}{4} v' \] ### Step 8: Calculate the Image Velocity Since the lens is moving away from the screen with a velocity \( v_0 = 1 \, \text{m/s} \), the image velocity \( v' \) can be considered as: \[ v' = v_0 = 1 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 9: Find Object Velocity Substituting \( v' \) into the equation for \( u' \): \[ u' = \frac{1}{4} \cdot 1 = \frac{1}{4} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 10: Calculate the Velocity of the Object Relative to the Screen The velocity of the object with respect to the screen is given by: \[ V_{os} = v_0 - u' = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the velocity of the object at the instant its size is doubled compared to the size of the image is: \[ \boxed{0.75 \, \text{m/s}} \]
