                                    Focal length of the plano-convex lens is 15 cm. A small object is placed at A as shown in the figure. The plane surface is silvered. The image will form at ` A. 60 cm to the left of lensB. 12 cm to the left of lensC. 60 cm to the right of lensD. 30 cm to the left of lens |

Answer» Correct Answer - B The focal length f of the equivalent mirror is `(1)/(f)=(2)/(f1)=(1)/(f_m)=(2)/(15)+(1)/(infty)` `implies f=(15)/(2) cm` Since f has a positive value, the combination behaves as a converging mirror. Here `u=-20cm`, `f=-(15)/(2) cm`, `v=?` According to mirror formula `(1)/(v)+(1)/(u)=(1)/(f)` `implies (1)/(v)-(1)/(-20)=(1)/((-15)/(2)) implies v=-12cm` Negative sign indicates that the image is 12 cm in front of mirror.  |
