A convex lens is place over a plane mirror. A pin is now positioned so that there is no parallax between the pin and its image formed by this lens-mirror combination . How can this observation be used to find the focal length of the convex lens? Give appropriate reasons in support of your answer.

Answer»

Solution :The rays must fall normally on the PLAN mirror so that the IMAGE of the pin coincide with itself.

Hence rays, like CA and DB form a parallel beam incident on the lens.
`:.` P is the position of the focus of the lens.
`:.` Distance OP equals the focus LENGTH of the lens.
