Question : 9
Total: 11
(A) An object is kept at a distance of 1 m from a lens of power + 2 D :
(i) Identify the type of lens.
(ii) Calculate its focal length and distance of the image formed.
OR
(B) Define the following terms in the context of a diverging lens:
(i) Principal focus.
(ii) Focal length.
Draw a labelled ray diagram to illustrate your answer.

(B) Define the following terms in the context of a diverging lens:
(i) Principal focus.
(ii) Focal length.
Draw a labelled ray diagram to illustrate your answer.
Solution:
(A) (i) The given lens is a convex lens as power of convex lens is positive.
(ii)
P =
+ 2 =
f = + 0.50 m
Its focal length is+ 0.50 m .
Using the relation
=
−
=
+
=
+
=
v = 1 m
OR
OR
(B) (i) Principal focus: Several rays of light parallel to the principal axis are falling on a concave lens. These rays, after refraction from the lens, are appearing to diverge from a point on the principal axis. This point on the principal axis is called the principal focus of the concave lens.
(ii) Focal length: The distance of the principal focus from the optical centre of a lens is called its focal length. The letterf is used to represent the focal length.
(ii)
Its focal length is
Using the relation
OR
OR
