    A thin lens of focal length \[f\] and aperture diameter \[d\] forms an image of intensity\[I\]. If the central part of the aperture upto diameter\[d/2\] is blocked by an opaque paper, then the new focal length and intensity of image will be

    A) \[\frac{f}{2},\,\,\frac{l}{2}\]                        

    B) \[\frac{f}{2},\,\,\frac{3}{4}l\]

    C)  \[f,\,\,\frac{l}{2}\]                                         

    D)  \[f,\,\,\frac{3}{4}l\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    On blocking the central part of the lens, focal length does not change so f remains same. Intensity of image is directly proportional to the area of lens. Initial area,\[{{A}_{1}}=\pi {{\left( \frac{d}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{\pi {{d}^{2}}}{4}\] On blocking, the central part of the aperture upto diameter\[\frac{d}{2}\], the new area                 \[{{A}_{2}}=\pi {{\left( \frac{d}{2} \right)}^{2}}-\pi {{\left( \frac{d}{4} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{\pi {{d}^{2}}}{4}-\frac{\pi {{d}^{2}}}{16}\]                      \[=\frac{3\pi {{d}^{2}}}{16}\] As           \[\frac{{{I}_{2}}}{{{I}_{1}}}=\frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}}=\frac{3\pi {{d}^{2}}\cdot 4}{16\pi {{d}^{2}}}=\frac{12}{16}=\frac{3}{4}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{I}_{2}}=\frac{3}{4}{{I}_{1}}\]
