A convex lens is put 10 cm from a light source and it makes a sharp image on a screen, kept 10 cm from the lens. Now a glass block (refractive index 1.5) of 1.5 cm thickness is placed in contact with the light source. To get the sharp image again, the screen is shifted by a distance d. Then d is :
Multiple Choice Options
- A 1.1 cm away from the lens
- B 0
- C 0.55 cm towards the lens
- D 0.55 cm away from the lens
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Image is formed on the screen.
So, v = 10 cm
and = 10 cm
Using formula,
=
f = 5 cm
Now a glass block is placed like this,
Because of this glass block source will move t in the direction of incident ray.
S' = t
= 1.5
= 0.5
now distance of source from the lens = 10 0.5 = 9.5 cm
= 9.5 cm
=
=
=
v = 10.55 cm
So, to get sharp image screen should shift away (10.55 10) = 0.55 cm from the lens.
