Q4 of 27 Page 132

A double convex lens has two surfaces of equal radii ‘R’ and refractive index n 15. Find the focal length 'f. (AS1)

Using Lens maker formula:

f = focal length


n = refractive index = 15


R1 = R = radius of the surface = R2 = -R

Two converging lenses are to be placed in the path of parallel rays so that the rays remain parallel after passing through both lenses. How should the lenses be arranged? Explain with a neat ray diagram. (AS1)

 3

The focal length of a converging lens is 20 cm. An object is 60 cm from the lens. Where will the image be formed and what kind of image is it? (AS1)

Write the lens maker's formula and explain the terms in it. (AS1)

How do you verify experimentally that the focal length of a convex lens is increased when it is kept in water? (AS1)
