Question

A real image is formed by a lens at a distance of 20 cm from the lens. The image shifts towards the combination by 10 cm when a second lens is brought in contact with the first lens. Determine the power of the second lens.   

Solution

Correct option is

5 dioptre

 

The image formed by the lens is ‘real’. Hence the lens in convex. Let its focal length be f1. Suppose the object is at a distance u from the lens, and the image is formed on the other side at a distance v (= 20 cm). From the lens formula    

                  

Let the focal length of the other lens be f2. Since on placing it in contact of the first lens, the image shifts 10 cm ‘nearer’ the lens-combination, the second lens also is convex. If the focal length of the combined lens be F, then  so again by the lens formula, we have

                  

By eq. (i) and (ii), we get
