A convex lens produces an image of a condle flame upon a screen whose distance from candle is D. When the lens is displaced through a distance x, (the distance between the candle and the screen is kept constant), it is found that a sharp image is again produced upon the screen. Find the focal length of the lens in terms of D and x .

Answer»


SOLUTION :`a+b=D b-a=X 2 b =D + x`
`b =(D+x)//2A=(D-x)//2`
`(1)/(b)-(1)/(-a)=(1)/(f) RARR (2)/(D+x)+(2)/(D-x)=(1)/(f)`
`_(2).(D-x+D+x)/(D^(2)-x^(2))=(1)/(f) rArr(4D)/(D^(2)-x^(2))=(1)/(f) rArr f=(D^(2)-x^(2))//4D Ans.]
