Will the focal length of a lens for red light be more , same or less than that for
blue light ?
A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed coaxially with a convex mirror of
radius of curvature 20cm . The two are kept at 15cm from each other . A point
object lies 60 cm in front of convex lens . Draw a ray diagram to show the forma
tion of image by combination . Also find the nature and position of image . [ Ans
: v = +90/7cm]
The image obtained witha convex lens is erect and its length is four times the
length of the object . If the focal length of the lens is 20 cm , calculate the object
and image distances .
[ Ans : u = 15 , v = 60cm]

Figure shows an equiconvex lens of refractive
index 1.50 in contact with a liquid layer on the top
of plane mirror . A small neddle with its tip on the
principal axis is moved along the axis unitl it is
inverted and image coincides with the needle . The
distance of needle form lens is measured 45cm .
The liquid is removed and experiment is repeated .
The new distance is measured to be 30 cm . What
is the refractive index of liquid .
[ Ans : 1.33 ]

8.

Using the lens equation , Deduce algebraically that

(i) An object placed within focus of a convex lens produces virtual and
enlarged image.
(ii) A concave lens produces a virtual and diminished image independent
of the location of the object.

Determine the effective focal length of a lens if they are placed distance d
apart.Does the answer depend on which side parallel beam of light is incident .
Is the notion of effective focal length of this system useful ?
