Sunlight of intensity 1.3 kW m-2 is incident normally on a thin convex lens of focal length 20 cm . Ignore the energy loss of light due to the lens and assume that the lens aperture size is much smaller than its focal length. The average intensity of light, in kW m-2 , at a distance 22 cm from the lens on the other side is __________.

  1. A 130
  2. B 135
  3. C 140
  4. D 145
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 130

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


rR=220=110
Ratio of area =1100
Let energy incident on lens be E
Given EA=1.3
E=A×1.30
Also aA=1100
\(\therefore\) Average intensity of light at \(22 cm=\frac{E}{a}=\frac{A \times 1.3}{a}=100 \times 1.3\) \(=130 kW / m ^2\)
