A converging mirror is placed on the right hand side of a converging lens as shown in the figure. The focal length of the mirror and the lens are 20cm and 15cm respectively. The separation between the lens and the mirror is 40cm and their principal axes coincide. A point source is placed on the principal axis at a distance dto the left of the lens. If the final beam comes out parallel to the principal axis, then the value of dis:

  1. A 4 cm
  2. B 8 cm
  3. C 12 cm
  4. D 16 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 12 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Image will act as object for mirror, v1+u2=40 1f2=1u2+1v2  here v2=∞ ⇒f2=u2=15 cm Lens formula, 1f1=1u1-1v1  ∴  120=1d-125 ⇒d≈12 cm
