  • question_answer
    A student can distinctly see the object upto a distance 15 cm. He wants to see the black board at a distance of 3m. Focal length and power of lens used respectively will be :

    A)  \[-\,4.8\text{ }cm,\,-3.3\text{ }D\]         

    B)         \[-5.8\text{ }cm,\,\,-4.3\text{ }D\]

    C)         \[-7.5\text{ }cm,\,\,-6.3\text{ }D\]         

    D)         \[-15.8\text{ }cm,\,\,-6.33\text{ }D\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The student should use a lens which forms image at distance of 15 cm of the object placed at 3m i.e., object distance\[u=-\,3m=-\,300\,cm,\] image distance \[v=-15\,cm\] From lens formula \[\frac{1}{\upsilon }-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}\] We get \[\frac{1}{-15}-\frac{1}{-\,300}=\frac{1}{f}\] or            \[\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{300}-\frac{1}{15}=-\frac{19}{300}\] or            \[f=\frac{-\,300}{19}\]     \[=-15.8\,cm\]                  (concave lens) Now power of the lens is \[P=\frac{100}{f(cm)}=\frac{100}{-\,015.8}\]     \[=-\,6.33\,D\]
