Numerical Problems 2 (Lenses)

1.​ Two thin lenses of power +3.5 D and -2.5 D are placed in contact. Find
the power and focal length of the lens combination.
Given 𝑃1= +3.5 D
𝑃2= -2.5 D
Using P = 𝑃1+𝑃2
= 3.5-2.5 = +1 D

Now P =
𝑓 (𝑚)
f=+1 m = 100 cm (1 m = 100 cm)
2.​ A convex lens of focal length 25 cm and concave lens of focal length
10 cm are placed in contact with each other. Calculate the power of
lens combination.
Given 𝑓1= 25 cm,
Using P = 𝑃1+𝑃2

𝑓1(𝑚)

nature (concave lens)

3.​ The power of combination of two lenses XY is 5 D. If the focal length


of lens X is 15 cm, state the focal length and nature of lens Y.
Given P = 5 D, 𝑓𝑋= 15 cm
P=𝑃𝑋+𝑃𝑌

-25/15 = 𝑓 (𝑚)
𝑌

𝑓𝑌 = -15/25 = -⅗ = -0.6 m = -60 cm


Its having a diverging nature.

4.​ An object of height +6 cm is placed perpendicular to the principal axis


of a concave lens of focal length -5 cm. Use the lens formula to
determine the position, size and nature of the image if the distance of
the object from the lens is -10 cm.

Given O=6 cm, f= -5 cm, u =-10 cm


Using lens formula

𝑓

, v =- 3
cm= -3.33 cm
𝑣 10
Now m = 𝑢 =- 3 𝑋 (−10) = ⅓
So positive m indicates its a virtual, erect
image.
𝐼
Again m = 𝑂

I = 6/3 = 2 cm (diminished)

5.​ If the image formed by a lens for all positions of the object placed in
front of it is always virtual, erect and diminished, state the type of the
lens. Draw a ray diagram in support of your answer.

6.​ An object of height 5 cm is placed perpendicular to the principal axis


of a concave lens of focal length -10 cm. If the object is placed at (u)
-20 cm from the lens, determine the position, nature and size of the
image.

7.​ The image of a candle flame placed at a distance of (u) =-30 cm from a
spherical lens is formed on a screen placed on the other side of the
lens at a distance of 60 cm from its optical centre. Identify the type of
lens and find its focal length. If the height of the flame is 3 cm, find the
height of its image.
Given u = -30 cm
v= 60 cm
1 1 1
Using lens formula
𝑓

; f=20 cm
Positive f indicates its a convex lens.
𝑣 −60
Now m = 𝑢 = 30
= -2
𝐼
Again m = 𝑂
𝐼
-2= 3
I = -6 cm
Image is real, inverted
