A biconvex lens of focal length \(f\) forms a circular image of radius \(r\) of sun in focal plane. Then, which option is correct?
- A \(\pi r^2 \propto f\)
- B \(\pi r^2 \propto f^2\)
- C If lower half part is covered by black sheet, then area of the image is equal to \(\pi r^2 / 2\)
- D If \(f\) is doubled, intensity will increase
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\pi r^2 \propto f^2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(
r=f \tan \theta
\)
or
\(\text { or } r \propto f \)
\( \therefore \pi r^2 \propto f^2\)

r=f \tan \theta
\)
or
\(\text { or } r \propto f \)
\( \therefore \pi r^2 \propto f^2\)
