What is meant by a power of a lens? Define its SI unit. 

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर १

The power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length. It is represented by the letter P. The power P of a lens of focal length f is given as

P = 1/f

The SI unit of power is dioptre (D).

Mohan obtained a sharp inverted image of a distant tree on the screen placed behind the lens. He then moved the screen and tried to look through the lens in the direction of the object. He would see: 

(1) a blurred image on the wall of the laboratory. 

(2) an erect image of the tree on the lens.

(3) no image as the screen has been removed 

(4) an inverted image of the tree at the focus of the lens.


Consider three converging lenses L1, L2 and L3 having identical geometrical construction. The index of refraction of L1 and L2 are \[\mu_1   \text{ and }   \mu_2\] respectively. The upper half of the lens L3 has a refractive index \[\mu_1\] and the lower half has \[\mu_2\]  following figure . A point object O is imaged at O1 by the lens L1 and at O2 by the lens L2placed in same position. If L3 is placed at the same place,

(a) there will be an image at O1
