ray-optics-and-optical-instruments Question 37

Question: Q. 6. You are given three lenses L1,L2 and L3 each of focal length 20 cm. An object is kept at 40 cm in front of L1. The final real image is formed at the focus I of L3. Find the separations between L1L2 and L3.

[O.D. I, II, III 2012]

f3=+20 cm,v3=20 cm 120=120+1u3

u3=

1/2

It shows that L2 must render the rays parallel to the common axis. It means that the image (I1), formed by L1, must be at a distance of 20 cm from L2 (at the focus of L2 )

Therefore, distance between L1 and L2(=40+20) =60 cm and distance between L2 and L3 can have any value.

Detailed Answer :

Given,

f1=f2=f3=20 cm

For lens, L1

u=40 cm f=20 cm 1v1u=1f 1v=1u+1f 1v=140+120 1v=140 v=40 cm

( + ve sign shows it is right hand side of lens L1 )

Now for L3, the final image is at its focus, that means v3=+20 cm. Hence u3=

Now, since image of the object AB formed by convex lens L2 is virtual object for L3, therefore v2=.

Hence for lens L2,u2=?,f2=20 cm and v2=. Using the lens formula,

1v21u2=1f2 11u2=120 u2=20 cm

So, the separation between L and L2

=40+20=60 cm

As v2= and u3=, therefore the distance between L2 and L3 does not matter it may take any value because image by L2 is formed at infinity.

(AI Q. 7. A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed coaxially with a convex mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm. The two are kept at 15 cm from each other. A point object lies 60 cm in front of the convex lens. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image by the combination. Determine the nature and position of the image formed. [O.D. I, II, III 2014]

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans.

For the convex lens, u=60 cm,f=+20 cm

1v1u=1f gives v=+30 cm1/2

For the convex mirror,

u=+(3015)cm=15 cm,f=+202 cm=10 cm1/2 1v+1u=1f gives v=+30 cm

The final image is formed at the distance of 30 cm from the convex mirror (or 45 cm from the convex lens) to the right of the convex mirror.

AT Q. 8. A ray PQ is incident normally on the face AB of a triangular prism of refracting angle of 60, made of a transparent material of refractive index 23, as shown in the figure. Trace the path of the ray as it passes through the prism. Also calculate the angle of emergence and angle of deviation.

[Delhi Comptt. I, II, III 2014]

Ans. If ic is the critical angle for the prism/material,

Angle of incidence at face AC of the prism =6012 Hence, refracted ray grazes the surface AC.

Angle of emergence =90

1/2

Angle of deviation =30
