D.

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Question 6

A hollow double concave lens is made of very thin transparent material. It can be filled with air or either of two liquids L1 and L2 having refractive indices n1 and  n2 respectively (n2>n1>1). The lens will diverge a parallel beam of light if it is filled with

A. Air and placed in air
B. Air and immersed in  L1
C.  L1 and immersed in  L2
D.  L2 and immersed in L1

SOLUTION

Solution : D

1f=(n2n11)(1R11R2) Where n2 and n1 are the refractive indices of the material of the lens
and of the surroundings respectively. For a double concave lens,

(1R11R2) is always negative.

                         
Hence f is negative only when n2>n1

Question 7

In order to obtain a real image of magnification 2  using a converging lens of focal length 20 cm, where should an object be placed

A. 50 cm
B. 30 cm
C. – 50 cm
D. – 30 cm

SOLUTION

Solution : D

For real image m=-2

M = fu+f2=fu+f=20u+20 u=-30 cm.

Question 8

An object is placed at a distance of f2 from a convex lens. The image will be    

A. At one of the foci, virtual and double its size
B. At 3f2, real and inverted
C. At 2f, virtual and erect
D. None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : A

1f=1v1u  (Given  u=f2 )
1f=1v+(1f2)1v=1f2f
1v=1f and m=vu=ff2 = 2
So virtual at the focus and of double size.

Question 9

A concave lens forms the image of an object such that the distance between the object and image is 10 cm and the magnification proceed is 14. The focal length of the lens will be

A. 8.6 cm
B. 6.2 cm
C. 10 cm
D. 4.4 cm

SOLUTION

Solution : D

Concave lens forms the virtual image of a real object. So let
u = -4x and v = -x then 3x = 10 cm
or  x=103 cm
 u=403 cm
And v=103 cm
Substituting in 1f=1v1u
We get 1f=310+340
or f=409
or f = – 4.4 cm



 

Question 10

A point object is placed at a distance of 25 cm from a convex lens of focal length 20 cm. If a glass slab of thickness t and refractive index 1.5 is inserted between the lens and the object the image is formed at infinity. The thickness t is
 

A. 10 cm
B. 5 cm
C. 20 cm
D. 15 cm

SOLUTION

Solution : D

Image will be formed at infinity if object is placed at focus of the lens i.e., at 20 cm from thelens. Hence, 
Shift = 2520=(11μ)t
or 5=(111.5)t
or t=5×1.50.5=15 cm

Question 11

A convex lens of focal length f is placed somewhere in between an object and a screen. The distance between the object and the screen is x. If the numerical value of the magnification produced by the lens is m, then the focal length of the lens is

A. mx(m+1)2
B. mx(m1)2
C. (m+1)2mx
D. (m1)2mx

SOLUTION

Solution : A

vu=m;v+u=xu=x1+m
1f=1v1uf=mx(m+1)2

Question 12

An object is placed at a distance of f2 from a convex lens. The image will be formed:

A.

At f, virtual and double its size.

B.

At f, real and inverted.

C.

At 2f, virtual and erect.

D. At 2f, real and erect.

SOLUTION

Solution : A

Given u=f2
1f=1v1u
1f=1v+(1f2)1v=1f2f
1v=1f 
So v=f i.e., the image will be formed at focus of the lens on the same side as that of the object.
Now magnification m=vu=ff2=+2
So the image formed will be virtual with magnification +2.

Question 13

A point object O is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens of focal length 20 cm at a distance of 40 cm to the left of it. The diameter of the lens is 10 cm. If the eye is placed 60 cm to the right of the lens at a distance h below the principal axis, then the maximum value of h to see the image will be

A. 0
B. 5 cm
C. 2.5 cm
D. 10 cm

SOLUTION

Solution : C

In the following ray diagram Δs,ABC and CDE are symmetric

So, ABBC=DECD540=h20h=2.5cm

Question 14

The object distance u, the image distance v and the magnification m in a lens follow certain linear relations.  These are

A. 1u versus 1v
B. m versus u
C. u versus v
D. m versus 1u

SOLUTION

Solution : A

For a lens 1f=1v1u1v=1u+1f....(i)
Also  m=fvf=1vfm=(1f)v+1...(ii)
On comparing equations (i) and (ii) with y =mx +c.
It is clear that relationship between 1vvs1u and m vs v is linear.

Question 15

A. f2&I2
B. f&I4
C. 3f4&I2
D. f&3I4

SOLUTION

Solution : B

There will be no change in focal length. f1=f But Intensity IA
But Intensity IA
I1I=r21r2=14r1=r2I1=I4
