A biconvex thick lens is constructed with glass (mu = 1.50). Each of the surfaces has a radius of 10 cm and the thickness at the middle is 5 cm. Locate the image of an object placed far away from the lens.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C, D
For local length of given lens
Using lensmaker's formula
`1/f=(mu-1)(1/R_1-1/R_2)`
`=(1.5-1)(1/10-1/(-10))`
`=0.5x2/10`
`rarr f=10 cm `

We know that the image is formed at focus of conve lens when object is at infinity.

In figure , L is half part of an equiconvex glass lens (mu=1.5) whose surfaces have radius of curvature R =40cm and its right surface is silvered . Normal to its principal axis a plane mirror M is placed on right of the lens . Distance between lens L and mirror M is b. A small object O is placed on left of the lens such that there is no parallax between final images formed by the lens and mirror. If transverse length of final image formed by lens is twice that of image formed by the mirror , calculate distance'a' in cm between lens and object.
