A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed coaxially with a convex mirror of radius of curvature 20 cm . The two are kept at 15 cm from each other. A point object placed 40 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 cm and, f = 20 cm
From the lens formula, we have:
−
=
⇒
=
+
⇒
=
+
⇒
=
=
v = 40 cm
The positive sign describes that the image is formed to the right of the lens.
The imageI 1 is formed behind the mirror and thus acts as a virtual source for the mirror. The convex mirror forms the image I 2 , whose distance from the mirror is given by:
+
=
Here:u = 25 cm
f =
= 10 cm
+
=
⇒
=
−
⇒
=
−
⇒
=
=
⇒ v = + 16.67 cm
Hence, the final image is formed at a distance of16.67 cm behind the convex mirror.
From the lens formula, we have:
The positive sign describes that the image is formed to the right of the lens.
The image
Here:
Hence, the final image is formed at a distance of
