Q17.For an object placed at a distance 2. 4 m from a lens, a sharp focused image is observed on a screen placed at a distance 12 cm from the lens. A glass plate of refractive index 1. 5 and thickness 1 cm is introduced between lens and screen such that the glass plate plane faces parallel to the screen. By what distance should the object be shifted so that a sharp focused image is observed again on the screen? (1) 0. 8 m (2) 3. 2 m (3) 1. 2 m (4) 5. 6 m

What This Question Tests

This multi-step problem combines the lens formula with the concept of apparent shift caused by a glass slab, requiring calculation of focal length and then a new object position.

Concepts Tested

Lens formulaShift due to glass slabRefraction

Formulas Used

1/f = 1/v - 1/u

Apparent shift = t(1 - 1/ฮผ)
