Q24.In an experiment a convex lens of focal length 15 cm is placed coaxially on an optical bench in front of a convex mirror at a distance of 5 cm from it. It is found that an object and its image coincide, if the object is placed at a distance of 20 cm from the lens. The focal length of the convex mirror is- (1) 20. 0 cm (2) 30. 5 cm (3) 25. 0 cm (4) 27. 5 cm

What This Question Tests

This problem requires analyzing image formation through a combination of a convex lens and a convex mirror, specifically when the object and its image coincide, implying the final image forms at the center of curvature of the mirror.

Concepts Tested

Lens formulaMirror formulaImage formation by spherical mirrors and lenses

Formulas Used

1/f = 1/v - 1/u (lens)

1/f = 1/v + 1/u (mirror)

9.20 (a) Determine the ‘effective focal length’ of the combination of the two lenses in Exercise 9.10, if they are placed 8.0cm apart with their principal axes coincident. Does the answer depend on which side of the combination a beam of parallel light is incident? Is the notion of effective focal length of this system useful at all? (b) An object 1.5 cm in size is placed on the side of the convex lens in the arrangement (a) above. The distance between the object and the convex lens is 40 cm. Determine the magnification produced by the two-lens system, and the size of the image.
