What is the difference between a double convex and a bi-convex lens?

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

In both cases, the two surfaces are convex towards the air. In the case of a double convex lens, the two surfaces may have any values for the two radii of curvature of the two surfaces while in the bi-convex lens the radii of curvature of the two surfaces, has the same value. Thus, every bi-convex lens is a double convex lens about every double convex may not be bi-convex.

Which of the following lenses would you prefer to use while reading small letters found in a dictionary?


When a ray of light enters from one medium to another having different optical densities it bends. Why does this phenomenon occur?


A beam of light travelling in a rectangular glass slab emerges into air. Draw a ray-diagram indicating the change in its path.


A convex lens of focal length 8 cm forms a real image of the same size as the object. The distance between object and its image will be:

(a) 8 cm
(b) 16 cm
(c) 24 cm
(d) 32 cm


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


Out of the five incident rays shown in the figure find the three rays that are obeying the laws of refraction and may be used for locating the position of image formed by a convex lens:

(A) 1, 2 and 3

(B) 2, 3 and 4

(C) 3, 4 and 5

(D) 1, 2 and 4


For finding the focal length of a convex lens by obtaining the image of a distant object, one should use as the object. 

(1) a well lit distant tree 

(2) window grill in the class room 

(3) any distant tree 

(4) a lighted candle kept at the other end of the table. 


State the position of object, position of image, nature of image when: Convex lens is used in cine projector.


The above images are that of a specialized slide projector. Slides are small transparencies mounted in sturdy frames ideally suited to magnification and projection since they have a very high resolution and a high image quality. There is a tray where the slides are to be put into a particular orientation so that the viewers can see the enlarged erect images of the transparent slides. This means that the slides will have to be inserted upside down in the projector tray.

To show her students the images of insects that she investigated in the lab, Mrs. Iyer brought a slide projector. Her slide projector produced 500 times enlarged and inverted image of a slide on a screen 10 m away.

a. Based on the text and data given in the above paragraph, what kind of lens must the slide projector have?

b. If v is the symbol used for image distance and u for object distance then with one reason state what will be the sign for `"𝑣"/"𝑢"` in the given case?

c. A slide projector has a convex lens with a focal length of 20 cm. The slide is placed upside down 21 cm from the lens. How far away should the screen be placed from the slide projector’s lens so that the slide is in focus?

OR

c. When a slide is placed 15 cm behind the lens in the projector, an image is formed 3 m in front of the lens. If the focal length of the lens is 14 cm, draw a ray diagram to show image formation. (not to scale)
