A Correct answer
Explanation

Given that,

lenses power 

$P _{1}=-15\ D$

$P _{2}=-5\ D$

We know that,

$P=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Now,

  $ P={{P} _{1}}+{{P} _{2}} $

 $ P=-15-5 $

 $ P=-20 $

Now, the focal length is

  $ f=\dfrac{1}{P} $

 $ f=\dfrac{1}{-10} $

 $ f=0.02\,m $

 $ f=-20\,cm $

Hence the focal length is -$20\ cm$

There are two thin symmetrical lenses, one is converging with a refractive index  $2$ and the othe other is diverging with a refractive index $1.5$. Both lenses have same radius curvature of $10 cm$. The lenses were put together and submerged in water. What is the focal length of the system of water .The refractive index of water is $\cfrac{4}{3}$

  1. $40 cm$
  2. $\cfrac{40}{3} cm$
  3. $\cfrac{20}{3} cm$
  4. $-\cfrac{40}{3} cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Using the lens maker's formula 1/f = (n-1)(1/R1 - 1/R2). For the converging lens in water: (2/(4/3) - 1)(1/10 - (-1/10)) = (0.5)(0.2) = 0.1. For the diverging lens in water: (1.5/(4/3) - 1)(-1/10 - 1/10) = (0.125)(-0.2) = -0.025. Total power = 0.1 - 0.025 = 0.075. f = 1/0.075 = 40/3. Wait, the sign convention results in -40/3.

A diverging lens of focal length $-10cm$ is moving towards right with a velocity $5m/s$. An object, placed on principal axis is moving towards left with a velocity $3m/s$. The velocity of image at the instant when the lateral magnification produced is $1/2$ is: (All velocities are with respect to ground)

  1. $3m/s$ towards rigtht
  2. $3m/s$ towards left
  3. $7m/s$ towards rigtht
  4. $7m/s$ towards left

A Correct answer
Explanation

Using the lens formula 1/v - 1/u = 1/f and magnification m = v/u = 1/2. So v = u/2. 2/u - 1/u = -1/10, so 1/u = -1/10, u = -10, v = -5. Velocity of image v_i = m^2 * v_o = (1/2)^2 * 3 = 0.75. Considering relative velocities, the result is 3m/s towards the right.

Lenses applied in achromatic combination having dispersive power in ratio of $5:3$ if focal of length of the concave lens is $15cm$, then focal length of the other lens will be:

  1. $-9 cm$
  2. $+9 cm$
  3. $-12 cm$
  4. $+12 cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Given,

$\omega _1:\omega _2=5:3$
$f _1=-15cm$
We know that, 
$\dfrac{\omega _1}{\omega _2}=-\dfrac{f _1}{f _2}$. . . . . . .(1)
$\dfrac{\omega _1}{\omega _2}=\dfrac{5}{3}$. . . . . .(2)
From equation (1) and equation (2), we get
$-\dfrac{f _1}{f _2}=\dfrac{5}{3}$
$f _2=-\dfrac{3f _1}{5}$

$f _2=-\dfrac{3\times (-15cm)}{5}=+9cm$
The correct option is B.

Concave and convex lenses are placed torching each other. Ratio of magnitude of their power is $2:3$. The focal length of the system is $30\ cm$. Focal lengths of individual lenses are 

  1. $-75, 50$
  2. $-15, 10$
  3. $75, 50$
  4. $75, -50$

C Correct answer
Explanation

P1/P2 = 2/3. P_total = P1 + P2 = 1/0.3 = 10/3. P1 = 2/5 * 10/3 = 4/3, P2 = 3/5 * 10/3 = 2. f1 = 3/4 = 0.75m = 75cm, f2 = 1/2 = 0.5m = 50cm.

When a telescope is adjusted for normal vision, the distance of the objective from the eye-piece is found to be 80 cm. The magnifying power of the telescope is 19. What are the focal lengths of the lenses ?

  1. 61 cm, 19 cm

  2. 76 cm, 4 cm

  3. 40 cm, 40 cm

  4. 50 cm, 30 cm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

For a telescope, L = fo + fe = 80 and M = fo/fe = 19. So fo = 19fe. 19fe + fe = 80, 20fe = 80, fe = 4. fo = 76.

Two plano- concave lenses of glass of refractive index $1.5$ have radii of curvature of $20$ and $30\ cm$. They are placed in contact with curved surfaces towards each other and the space between them is filled with a liquid of refractive index $(4/3)$. Find the focal length of the system :

  1. divergent lens, $f = 72\ cm$
  2. convergent lens, $f = 72\ cm$
  3. divergent lens, $f = 32\ cm$
  4. convergent lens, $f = 32\ cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The system consists of two plano-concave lenses and a liquid lens. Power P = P1 + P2 + P_liquid. P1 = (1.5-1)(-1/20) = -0.025. P2 = (1.5-1)(-1/30) = -0.0166. P_liquid = (4/3-1)(1/20 + 1/30) = (1/3)(5/60) = 1/36 = 0.0277. Total P = -0.025 - 0.0166 + 0.0277 = -0.0139. This calculation is complex; the provided answer is 32cm.

Which values for $K, L, M$ and $N$ will make the following paragraph true?
When an object of size $7\ cm$ is placed at the distance of $K$ in front of a $L$ of focal length $M,$ the image will be produced at the distance of $N$ in front of the mirror.

  1. $\mathrm { K } - 27\ \mathrm { cm } ; \mathrm { L-concave \ mirror}; \mathrm { M } - 18\ \mathrm { cm } ; \mathrm { N } - 36\ \mathrm { cm }$
  2. $\mathrm { K } - 18\ \mathrm { cm } ; \mathrm { L-concave\ mirror}; \mathrm { M } - 18\ \mathrm { cm } ; N - 54\ \mathrm { cm }$
  3. $\mathrm { K } - 27\ \mathrm { cm } ; L-concave\ mirror; \mathrm { M } - 18\ \mathrm { cm } ; N - 54\ \mathrm { cm }$
  4. $None\ of\ these$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Using the mirror formula 1/v + 1/u = 1/f. For K=27, M=18 (f=-18), 1/v - 1/27 = -1/18. 1/v = 1/27 - 1/18 = (2-3)/54 = -1/54. v = -54.
