An object 5 cm is placed at a distance of 20 cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 30 cm. Find the position, nature and size of the image.

संख्यात्मक

उत्तर

Object distance, u = – 20 cm

Object height, h = 5 cm

Radius of curvature, R = 30 cm

Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length

R = 2f

f = `30/2`

f = 15 cm

According to the mirror formula,

`1/"f" = 1/"v" + 1/"u"`

`1/15 = 1/"v" + 1/(-20)`

`1/15 = 1/"v" - 1/20`

`1/15 + 1/20 = 1/"v"`

`1/"v" = (4 + 3)/60`

`1/"v" = 7/60`

v = `60/7`

v = 8.57 cm

The positive value of v indicates that the image is formed behind the mirror.

The positive value of magnification indicates that the image formed is virtual.

Size of the image:

m = `"h'"/"h" = -"v"/"u"`

`"h'"/5 = (-8.57)/(-20)`

20 h' = 8.57 × 5

20 h' = 42.9

h' = `42.85/20`

h' = 2.14 cm

The positive value of image height indicates that the image formed is erect.
Therefore, the image formed is virtual, erect, and smaller in size.

Identify from the following diagram the three rays that are obeying the laws of refraction and may be used to draw the corresponding ray diagram.

(A) 1, 2 and 4

(B) 1, 3 and 5

(C) 2, 4 and 5

(D) 2, 3 and 4

A student did an experiment with a convex lens. He put an object at different distances 25 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm and 120 cm from the lens. In each case he measured the distance of the image from the lens. His results were 100 cm, 24 cm, 60 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm, respectively. Unfortunately his results are written in wrong order. 

Which of the object distances gives the biggest image?


A convex lens has a divergent action and a concave lens has a convergent action.


To find the image distance for varying object distances in case of a convex lens of focal length 15 cm, a student obtains on a screen a sharp image of a bright object by placing it at 20 cm distance from the lens. After that he gradually moves the object away from the lens and each time focuses the image on the screen.

(a) In which direction-towards or away from the lens does he move the screen to focus the object?

(b) How does the size of image change?

(c) Approximately at what distance does he obtain the image of magnification –1?

(d) How does the intensity of image change as the object moves farther and farther away from the lens?
