Q7 of 123 Page 412

A screen is placed at a distance 40 cm away from an illuminated object. A converging lens is place between the source and the screen and it is attempted to form the image of the source on the screen. If no position could be found, the focal length of the lens

The distance of the object from lens is 40cm. For no position of lens D< 4f, i.e. 40<4f that means, f>10cm. Therefore, the focal length should be greater than 10cm

Hence, option B is correct.

Consider three converging lenses L1, L2 and L3 having identical geometrical construction. The index of refraction of L1 and L2 are μ1 and μ2 respectively. The upper half of the lens L3 has a refractive index μ2 (figure 18-Q3). A point object O is imaged at O1 by the lens L1 and at O2 by the lens L2 placed in same position. If L3 is placed at the same place,

A concave mirror forms an image of 20 cm high object on a screen placed 5.0

m away from the mirror. The height of the image is 50 cm. Find the focal length of the mirror and the distance between the mirror and the object.
