A beam of light converging to the point of 10 cm is incident on the lens. find the position of the point image if the lens has a focal length of 40 cm ​

beam of light converges to a point A. A lens is placed in the path of the convergent beam 12 cm from P.

To find the point at which the beam converge if the lens is (a) a convex lens of focal length 20 cm, (b) a concave lens of focal length 16 cm

Solution:

As per the given criteria,

the the object is virtual and the image is real (as the lens is placed in the path of the convergent beam)

(a) lens is a convex lens with

focal length, f=20cm

object distance, u=12cm

applying the lens formula, we get

f

=

v

−

u

⟹

v

=

+

u

⟹

v

=

1

+

⟹

v

1

=

3+5

⟹v=7.5cm

Hence the image formed is real, at 7.5cm from the lens on its right side.

(b) lens is a concave lens with

focal length, f=−16cm

object distance, 12cm

applying the lens formula, we get

f

1

=

v

1

−

u

1

⟹

v

1

=

f

+

u

⟹

v

=

⟹

v

=

48

−3+4

⟹v=48m

Hence the image formed is real, at 48 cm from the lens on the right side.

that tool is called an altimeter which measures your altitude which can be used to tell which atmosphere you are currently in, including the stratosphere.

hope this ! : )
