A thin convex lens of focal length \('f'\) is put on a plane mirror as shown in the figure. When an object is kept at a distance \('a'\) from the lens - mirror combination, its image is formed at a distance \(\frac{a}{3}\) in front of the combination. The value of \('a'\) is

  1. A \(3f\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{2}f\)
  3. C \(f\)
  4. D \(2f\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2f\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When object is keept at a distance \('a'\) from thin covex lens By lens formula: \(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\) \(\frac{1}{V}-\frac{1}{(-a)}=\frac{1}{f}\) or, \(\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{a}\) ...... \((i)\) Mirror forms image at equal distance from mirror Now,…
