Question : 7 of 9
Marks: +1, -0
A convex lens of focal length 20 cm20\ \mathrm{cm} is placed coaxially with a convex mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm20\ \mathrm{cm}. The two are kept at 15 cm15\ \mathrm{cm} from each other. A point object placed 40 cm40\ \mathrm{cm} in front of the convex lens. Find the position of the image formed by this combination. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation.
Solution:  
Given, A=−40 cmA=-40\ \mathrm{cm} and, f=20 cmf=20\ \mathrm{cm}
From the lens formula, we have:
  1v  −  1u  =  1f  \;\frac{1}{v}\;-\;\frac{1}{u}\;=\;\frac{1}{f}\;
⇒  1v  =  1f+  1u  \Rightarrow \;\frac{1}{v}\;=\;\frac{1}{f}+\;\frac{1}{u}\;
⇒  1v  =  120+  1(−40)  \Rightarrow \;\frac{1}{v}\;=\;\frac{1}{20}+\;\frac{1}{(-40)}\;
⇒  1v  =  2−140=  140  \Rightarrow \;\frac{1}{v}\;=\;\frac{2-1}{40}=\;\frac{1}{40}\;
  v  =40 cm\;v\;=40\ \mathrm{cm}
The positive sign describes that the image is formed to the right of the lens.
The image I1I_1 is formed behind the mirror and thus acts as a virtual source for the mirror. The convex mirror forms the image I2I_2, whose distance from the mirror is given by:
  1v+  1v=  1f\;\frac{1}{v}+\;\frac{1}{v}=\;\frac{1}{f}
Here:   u=25 cm\;u=25\ \mathrm{cm}
  f=  R2=10 cm\;f=\;\frac{R}{2}=10\ \mathrm{cm}
  1v+  1v  =  1f\;\frac{1}{v}+\;\frac{1}{v}\;=\;\frac{1}{f}
⇒      1v  =  1f−  1u\Rightarrow \;\; \;\frac{1}{v}\;=\;\frac{1}{f}-\;\frac{1}{u}
⇒  1v=  110−  125\Rightarrow \;\frac{1}{v}=\;\frac{1}{10}-\;\frac{1}{25}
⇒  1v=  5−250=  350\Rightarrow \;\frac{1}{v}=\;\frac{5-2}{50}=\;\frac{3}{50}
⇒v=+16.67 cm\Rightarrow v=+16.67\ \mathrm{cm}
Hence, the final image is formed at a distance of 16.67 cm16.67\ \mathrm{cm} behind the convex mirror.
