The image of a small electric bulb fixed on the wall of a room is to be obtained on the opposite wall 3 m away by means of a large convex lens. What is the maximum possible focal length of the lens required for the purpose?
उत्तर
Distance between the object and the image, d = 3 m
Maximum focal length of the convex lens = `"f"_"max"`
For real images, the maximum focal length is given as:
`"f"_"max" = "d"/4`
= `3/4`
= 0.75 m
Hence, for the required purpose, the maximum possible focal length of the convex lens is 0.75 m.

Figure shows an equiconvex lens (of refractive index 1.50) in contact with a liquid layer on top of a plane mirror. A small needle with its tip on the principal axis is moved along the axis until its inverted image is found at the position of the needle. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be 45.0 cm. The liquid is removed and the experiment is repeated. The new distance is measured to be 30.0 cm. What is the refractive index of the liquid?
