A convex lens has different media on its two sides. Its first focal length is 10 cm. An object is placed at a distance of 15 cm from the first principal focus. The lens produces its image on the other side at a distance of 20 cm from the second principal focus. The second focal lenght is :

Answer»

30 cm
10 cm
17.5 cm
35 cm

Solution :(a) Newton FORMULA for focal LENGTH
`X_(1)X_(2) = f_(1)f_(2)`
Here `X_(1) = - 15 cm`
`X_(2) = + 20 cm`
`f_(1) = - 10 cm`
`(-15) (+ 20) = (- 10) f_(2)`
`f_(2) = + 30 cm`.
