A convex lens is put \(10\, cm\) from a light source and it makes a sharp image on a screen, kept \(10\, cm\) from the lens. Now a glass block (refractive index \(1.5\)) of \(1.5\, cm\) thickness is placed in contact with the light source. To get the sharp image again, the screen is shifted by a distance \(d\). Then \(d\) is

  1. A \(1.1\, cm\) away fro the lens
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(0.55\, cm\) towards the lens
  4. D \(0.55\, cm\) away from the lens
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.55\, cm\) away from the lens

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(u=-10 \,\mathrm{cm}\) \(v=+10\, \mathrm{cm}\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}=5\,\mathrm{cm}\) Glass plate shift \(=\mathrm{t}\left(1-\frac{1}{\mu}\right)=1.5\left(1-\frac{2}{3}\right)=0.5\,\mathrm{cm}\) So, new \(u=10-0.5=9.5\,\mathrm{cm}\) \(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\)…
