Optics Ques 57

  1. A diverging lens with magnitude of focal length $25$ $ cm$ is placed at a distance of $15$ $ cm$ from a converging lens of magnitude of focal length $20$ $ cm$. A beam of parallel light falls on the diverging lens. The final image formed is

(2017 Main)

(a) virtual and at a distance of $40 $ $ cm$ from convergent lens

(b) real and at a distance of $40 $ $ cm$ from the divergent lens

(c) real and at a distance of $6 $ $ cm$ from the convergent lens

(d) real and at a distance of $40 $ $ cm$ from convergent lens

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 57.(b)

Solution:

Here, $f _1=-25 $ $cm, f _2=20 $ $cm$

For diverging lens, $v=-25 $ $cm$

For converging lens, $u=-(15+25)=-40 $ $cm$

$\therefore \quad \frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{-40}=\frac{1}{+20} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{40}=\frac{1}{40} \Rightarrow v=40 $ $cm$
