a point of an object is kept 10cm
away on the surface of a thick double convex lens of a refractive index 1.5 and radii of curvature 10 can and 8 cm central thickness of the lens is 2 cm determine location of the final image considering paraxial rays only
Answers
Answer:
In a double convex lens :-
Object distance, u = -10 cm
Refractive index, n = 1.5
Radius of curvatures, R1 = 10 cm
and R2 = -8 cm
Central thickness of the lens, t = 2 cm
To find: final image distance, “v” considering paraxial only
For thick convex lens, we haveFocal length, f is positive
R1 is positive
R2 is negative
Object distance “u” is negative and image distance “v” is positive
Image formed is real & inverted .
By lens maker’s formula now :-
1/f = [1.5-1][(1/10) + (1/8) - {(1.5 - 1)*2 / (1.5 * 10 * 8)}]
1/f = [0.5] [0.1 + 0.125 – (1/120)]
1/f = [0.5] [0.21667] = 0.108335
Now, as per the general lens formula, we have :-
1/f = 1/v - 1/u
0.108335 = 1/v – 1/(-10)
0.108335 – 0.1 = 1/v
= 0.008335
∴ v = 1/0.008335 = 119.97 cm ≈ 120cm
Hence, the location of the final image is 120 cm away from the lens considering paraxial only.
Answer:
I hope this answer is 120 CM
