Marks: +1, -0
A convex lens of focal length 20 cm20\ \text{cm} is placed coaxially with a convex mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm20\ \text{cm}. The two are kept at 15 cm15\ \text{cm} apart from each other. A point object lies 60 cm60\ \text{cm} in front of the convex lens. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image by the combination. Determine the nature and position of the image formed.
Solution:  
u=−60 cm   and   f=20 cmu=-60\ \text{cm}\;\text{ and }\; f=20\ \text{cm}
From the lens formula, we have:
  1v−  1u  =  1f\;\frac{1}{v}-\;\frac{1}{u}\;=\;\frac{1}{f}
  1v  =  1f+  1u\;\frac{1}{v}\;=\;\frac{1}{f}+\;\frac{1}{u}
  =  120+  1−60\;=\;\frac{1}{20}+\;\frac{1}{-60}
  =  3−160=  260=  130\;=\;\frac{3-1}{60}=\;\frac{2}{60}=\;\frac{1}{30}
v  =+30 cmv\;=+30\ \text{cm}
The positive sign indicates that the image is formed at the right of the lens.
The image I1I_1 is formed behind the mirror and acts as a virtual oject for the mirror. The convex mirror forms the image I2I_2, whose distance from the mirror can be determined as:
  1v+  1u  =  1f\;\frac{1}{v}+\;\frac{1}{u}\;=\;\frac{1}{f}
Here, u  =15 cmu\;=15\ \text{cm}
and, f  =  R2=10 cmf\;=\;\frac{R}{2}=10\ \text{cm}
  1v  =  1f−  1u\;\frac{1}{v}\;=\;\frac{1}{f}-\;\frac{1}{u}
v  =30 cmv\;=30\ \text{cm}
Hence, the final virtual image is formed at a distance 30 cm30\ \text{cm} from the convex mirror.
