Q81
A convex lens of focal length 20 cm produces images of the same magnification 2 when an object is kept at two distances x1 and x2 (x1 > x2) from the lens. The ratio of x1 and x2 is :-
A 3 : 1
B 2 : 1
C 5 : 3
D 4 : 3
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Magnification is 2 If image is real,

x1=3f2{x_1} = {{3f} \over 2}

If image is virtual,

x2=f2{x_2} = {f \over 2}
x1x2=3:1{{{x_1}} \over {{x_2}}} = 3:1

Q86
If we need a magnification of 375 from a compound microscope of tube length 150 mm and an objective of focal length 5 mm, the focal length of the eye-piece, should be close to :
A 22 mm
B 12 mm
C 33 mm
D 2 mm
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Case 1 : Near – point adjustment M.P =

Lf0(1+Dfe){L \over {{f_0}}}\left( {1 + {D \over {{f_e}}}} \right)

\Rightarrow 375 =

1505(1+250fe){{150} \over 5}\left( {1 + {{250} \over {{f_e}}}} \right)

\Rightarrow fe = 21.7 mm \approx 22 mm Case-2 : If final image is at inifinity M.P =

Lf0(Dfe){L \over {{f_0}}}\left( {{D \over {{f_e}}}} \right)

\Rightarrow375 =

1505(250fe){{150} \over 5}\left( {{{250} \over {{f_e}}}} \right)

\Rightarrow fe = 20 mm

Q87
For the thin convex lens, the radii of curvature are at 15 cm15 \mathrm{~cm} and 30 cm30 \mathrm{~cm} respectively. The focal length the lens is 20 cm20 \mathrm{~cm}. The refractive index of the material is :
A 1.2
B 1.5
C 1.4
D 1.8
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

To find the refractive index of the material of a thin convex lens, we can make use of the Lensmaker's Formula.

The Lensmaker's formula is given by:

1f=(μ1μ)(1R11R2)\frac{1}{f} = \left( \frac{\mu - 1}{\mu} \right) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right)

where ff is the focal length of the lens, μ\mu is the refractive index of the material of the lens, R1R_1 is the radius of curvature of the first surface (convex side, positive), R2R_2 is the radius of curvature of the second surface (concave side, negative for convex lens).

Given in the question, the radii of curvature are 15cm15 \, \mathrm{cm} and 30cm30 \, \mathrm{cm} respectively, and the focal length f=20cmf = 20\, \mathrm{cm}.

It's important to pay attention to the signs of the radii of curvature according to the lens maker's convention.

For convex lenses, R1R_1 is positive and R2R_2 is negative; however, since the problem doesn't specify which curvature corresponds to which side in relation to the direction of light travel, we'll assume the light travels from left to right: thus, R1=+15cmR_1 = +15 \, \mathrm{cm} and R2=30cmR_2 = -30 \, \mathrm{cm}.

Substituting the given values into the Lensmaker's Formula, we get:

120=(μ1)(115130)\frac{1}{20} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{15} - \frac{1}{-30} \right)
120=(μ1)(115+130)\frac{1}{20} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{30} \right)
120=(μ1)(2+130)\frac{1}{20} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{2 + 1}{30} \right)
120=(μ1)(330)\frac{1}{20} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{3}{30} \right)
120=(μ1)(110)\frac{1}{20} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{10} \right)
120=μ110\frac{1}{20} = \frac{\mu - 1}{10}

Now, solve for μ\mu:

μ1=1020\mu - 1 = \frac{10}{20}
μ1=0.5\mu - 1 = 0.5
μ=1.5\mu = 1.5

Hence, the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5, which corresponds to Option B.

Q88
A convergent doublet of separated lenses, corrected for spherical aberration, has resultant focal length of 10 cm. The separation between the two lenses is 22 cm. The focal lengths of the component lenses are :
A 10 cm, 12 cm
B 12 cm, 14 cm
C 16 cm, 18 cm
D 18 cm, 20cm
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

For a convergent doublet of separated lens, we have

1f=1f1+1f2df1f2{1 \over f} = {1 \over {{f_1}}} + {1 \over {{f_2}}} - {d \over {{f_1}{f_2}}}

...... (1) where d is separation between two lens, f1 and f2 are focal lengths of component lenses, f is resultant focal length.

Therefore, Eq. (1) becomes

110=1f1+1f22f1f2110=(f2+f12f1f2){1 \over {10}} = {1 \over {{f_1}}} + {1 \over {{f_2}}} - {2 \over {{f_1}{f_2}}} \Rightarrow {1 \over {10}} = \left( {{{{f_2} + {f_1} - 2} \over {{f_1}{f_2}}}} \right)
f1f2=10f2+10f120\Rightarrow {f_1}{f_2} = 10{f_2} + 10{f_1} - 20
10f1+10f2f1f2=+20\Rightarrow 10{f_1} + 10{f_2} - {f_1}{f_2} = + 20

For f1 = 18 cm and f2 = 20 cm, the above equation satisfies.

Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
cotA2=sin(A+δmin2)sinA2cosA2=sin(A+δmin2)A+δmin2=π2A2δmin=π2 A\begin{aligned} & \cot \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{A}+\delta_{\min }}{2}\right)}{\sin \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}} \\ & \Rightarrow \cos \frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}=\sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{A}+\delta_{\min }}{2}\right) \\ & \frac{\mathrm{A}+\delta_{\min }}{2}=\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\mathrm{A}}{2} \\ & \delta_{\min }=\pi-2 \mathrm{~A} \end{aligned}%
Q90
A bi-convex lens has radius of curvature of both the surfaces same as 1/6 cm1 / 6 \mathrm{~cm}. If this lens is required to be replaced by another convex lens having different radii of curvatures on both sides (R1R2)\left(R_1 \neq R_2\right), without any change in lens power then possible combination of R1R_1 and R2R_2 is :
A 13 cm\dfrac{1}{3} \mathrm{~cm} and 17 cm\dfrac{1}{7} \mathrm{~cm}
B 15 cm\dfrac{1}{5} \mathrm{~cm} and 17 cm\dfrac{1}{7} \mathrm{~cm}
C 13 cm\dfrac{1}{3} \mathrm{~cm} and 13 cm\dfrac{1}{3} \mathrm{~cm}
D 16 cm\dfrac{1}{6} \mathrm{~cm} and 19 cm\dfrac{1}{9} \mathrm{~cm}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

To replace a bi-convex lens with another convex lens that has different radii of curvature on each side (i.e., R1R2 R_1 \neq R_2 ), while maintaining the same lens power, the radii must satisfy a specific relationship.

For the current bi-convex lens, both radii of curvature are given as 16cm \dfrac{1}{6} \, \text{cm} .

The lens formula for power is tied to the radii through: 1f1=(μ1)(2R) \dfrac{1}{f_1} = (\mu - 1) \left( \dfrac{2}{R} \right) When this lens is replaced by a lens with different radii (R1 R_1 and R2 R_2 ), the condition that has to be met is: 1f2=(μ1)(1R1+1R2) \dfrac{1}{f_2} = (\mu - 1) \left( \dfrac{1}{R_1} + \dfrac{1}{R_2} \right) For power equivalence, the expressions for 1f1 \dfrac{1}{f_1} and 1f2 \dfrac{1}{f_2} must be equal: (μ1)(1R1+1R2)=(μ1)(2R) (\mu - 1) \left( \dfrac{1}{R_1} + \dfrac{1}{R_2} \right) = (\mu - 1) \left( \dfrac{2}{R} \right) This simplifies to: 1R1+1R2=2R \dfrac{1}{R_1} + \dfrac{1}{R_2} = \dfrac{2}{R} Given R=16cm R = \dfrac{1}{6} \, \text{cm} , it follows that: 1R1+1R2=2(16) \dfrac{1}{R_1} + \dfrac{1}{R_2} = \dfrac{2}{\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)} Thus, simplifying the equation gives: 1R1+1R2=12 \dfrac{1}{R_1} + \dfrac{1}{R_2} = 12 Therefore, any valid pair of radii R1 R_1 and R2 R_2 must satisfy this equation.
