  1. $2 cm$

  2. $6 cm$

  3. $4 cm$

  4. $1 cm$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The given problem is an example of displacement method, which is generally used to measure the focal length of the lens. In this method, the two image sizes and the object size are related as:

$O = \sqrt{I _1 I _2}$
$\implies 3 = \sqrt {9 \times I _2}$
$I _2 = 1\ cm$

A point object is placed on the principle axis of a converging lens and its image $(I _{1})$ is formed on its principle axis. If the lens is rotated by an small angle $\theta$ about its optical centre such that its principle axis also rotates by the same amount then the image $(I _{2})$ of the same object is formed at point $P$. Choose the correct option.

An object and a screen are mounted on an optical bench and a converging lens is placed between them so that a sharp image is obtained on the screen. The linear magnification of the image is 25. The lens is now moved 30 cm towards the screen and a sharp image is again formed on the screen. Find the focal length of the lens.

Correct Option: B

A convex lens forms an image of an object on a screen. The height of the image is 9 cm. The lens is now displaced until an image is again obtained on the screen. The height of this image is 4 cm. The distance between the object and the screen is 90 cm.

image formation by lens image formation by lenses ray optics and optical instruments optics physics

  1. The distance between the two positions of the lens is 30 cm.

  2. The distance of the object from the lens in its first position is 36 cm.

  3. The height of the object is 6 cm.

  4. The focal length of the lens is 21.6 cm.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$h^{2} _{object}=h _{image1} \times h _{image2}$


$h _{object}=\sqrt{36}=6$

magnification of image is $\dfrac{v}{u}=\dfrac{9}{6}$

                                            $v= \dfrac{3u}{2}$

in lens displacement method , $u+v=d$ ; $uv=df$

$u+\dfrac{3u}{2}=90$

$u=36$   => $v=54$

$uv=df$ 

$f=\dfrac{36\times 54}{90}=21.6$

option $D$ is correct 

In a converging lens of focal length f and the distance between real object and its real image is 4f. If the object moves $x _1$ distance towards lens its image moves $x _2$ distance away from the lens and when object moves $y _1$ distance away from the lens its image moves $y _2$ distance towards the lens, then choose the correct option:-
