A point source is located at a distance of 20 cm from the front surface of a symmetrical glass biconvex lens with equal radii of curvature 5 cm. The distance at which image formed from the rear surface of this lens is [Given refractive index of the glass is 1.5]

  1. A 203 cm
  2. B 103 cm
  3. C 5 cm
  4. D 10 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 203 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From lens makers formula for biconvex lens, we have 1f=μ-12R ⇒1f=1.5-125=15 From Lens equation, we have 1v-1u=1f ⇒1v-1-20=15 ⇒1v=15-120=320 ⇒v=203 cm
