A point object $O$ is placed on the principle axis of a convex lens of focal length $20\ cm$ at a distance of $40\ cm$ to the left of it. The diameter of the lens is $10\ cm$. If the eye is placed $60\ cm$ to the right of the lens at a distance $h$ below the principle axis, then the maximum value of $h$ to see the image will be

  1. 1 cm

  2. 4 cm

  3. 8 cm

  4. 16 cm

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$height^{2} _{object}=height _{image1}\times height _{image2}$


$2 \times 2=0.5 \times h$

$h=8$

option $C$ is correct

A lens is placed between the source of light and a wall. It forms images of area $ { A } _{ 1 }$ and  ${ A } _{ 2 }$ on the wall for its two different positions. The area of the source of light is :

  1. $ \sqrt { { A } _{ 1 }{ A } _{ 2 } } $

  2. $ \dfrac { { A } _{ 1 }+{ A } _{ 2 } }{ 2 } $

  3. $ { \left( \dfrac { \sqrt { { A } _{ 1 } } +\sqrt { { A } _{ 2 } } }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 } $

  4. $None\ of\ these$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$height^{2} _{object}=height _{image1} \times height _{image2}$


$r^{2} _{source}=r _{image1} \times r _{image2}$

$\pi r^{2} _{source}=\pi r _{image1} \times r _{image2}$

$A _{source}=\sqrt{\pi^{2} r^{2} _{image1}r^{2} _{image2}}$

$A _{source}=\sqrt{A _{1}A _{2}}$

option $A$ is correct
