Optics Question 442

Question: The size of the image of an object, which is at infinity, as formed by a convex lens of focal length 30 cm is 2 cm. If a concave lens of focal length 20 cm is placed between the convex lens and the image at a distance of 26 cm from the convex lens, calculate the new size of the image

Options:

A) 1.25 cm

B) 2.5 cm

C) 1.05 cm

D) 2 cm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Convex lens will form image I1 at its focus which acts like a virtual object for concave lens.

Hence, for concave lens, u=+4cm , f=20 cm.

So by lens formula 120=1v14v=5cm i.e., distance of final image (I2) from concave lens v=5 cm by using vu=IO54=I2(I2)=2.5cm
