JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments
Given is a thin convex lens of glass (refractive index \(\mu\) ) and each side having radius of curvature \(R\). One side is polished for complete reflection. At what distance from the lens, an object be placed on the optic axis so that the image gets formed on the object itself ?
- A \(\mathrm{R} / \mu\)
- B \(R /(2 \mu-3)\)
- C \(\mu R\)
- D \(\mathrm{R} /(2 \mu-1)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{R} /(2 \mu-1)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} -\frac{1}{f_{e q}} & =\frac{2}{f_l}-\frac{1}{f_m} \\ & =2(\mu-1) \frac{2}{R}+\frac{2}{R} \\ -\frac{1}{f_{e q}} & =\frac{2(2 \mu-1)}{R} \\ f_{e q} & =-\frac{R}{2(2 \mu-1)} \end{aligned}\) For concave mirror, object should be at \(2 f\) for the image to be at…
