A double-convex lens is to be made of glass with an index of refraction of 1.5.One surface is to have twice the radius of curvature of the other and the focal length is to be 60mm. What is the (a) smaller and (b) larger radius?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Smaller radius of the lens is 45mm
  2. Larger radius of the lens is 90mm

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Refractive index of lens, n=1.5

Focal length,f=60.0mm

Radius of one surface is twice the other, i.e.,r2=-2r1

02

Understanding the concepts of lens maker equation

By using the Lens maker’s formula, we can find the radius of both curvatures of the lens.

Formula:

Lens maker’s formula

1f=(n-1)(1r1-1r2)...34-10

03

(a) Calculations of the smaller radius of the lens

Lens maker’s formula is given by equation,

1f=n-11r1-1r2

Since one surface has twice the radius of the other and since one surface is convex to the incoming light while the other is concave, we can write,

r2=-2r1

So, we can get,

1fn-1=1r1+12r1=32r1r1=32fn-1=1.560.01.5-1=45mm

Smaller radius of the lens is 45mm.

04

(b) Calculations of the larger radius of the lens

As per the condition given in the problem, r2will be double of r1

So, r2 = 90 mm

Larger radius of the lens is 90 mm

An object is placed against the center of a spherical mirror, and then moved70cmfrom it along the central axis as theimage distance i is measured. Figure 34-36 givesiversus object distancepout tops=40cm. What isifor p=70cm?

17 through 29 22 23, 29 More mirrors. Object O stands on the central axis of a spherical or plane mirror. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-4 refers to (a) the type of mirror, (b) the focal distance f, (c) the radius of curvature r, (d) the object distance p, (e) the imagedistance i, and (f) the lateral magnification m. (All distances are in centimeters.) It also refers to whether (g) the image is real (R)or virtual localid="1662996882725" (V), (h) inverted (I)or noninverted (NI)from O, and (i) on the same side of the mirror as object O or on the opposite side. Fill in the missing information. Where only a sign is missing, answer with the sign.

Suppose the farthest distance a person can see without visual aid is50cm. (a) What is the focal length of the corrective lens that will allow the person to see very far away? (b) Is the lens converging or diverging? (c) The power Pof a lens (in diopters) is equal to1/f, wherefis in meters. What ispfor the lens?

In Fig. 34-32, an isotropic point source of light Sis positioned at distancedfrom a viewing screen Aand the light intensityIPat pointP(level withS) is measured. Then a plane mirrorMis placed behindSat distanced. By how much isIPmultiplied by the presence of the mirror?

You look down at a coin that lies at the bottom of a pool of liquid of depthand index of refraction(Fig. 34-57). Because you view with two eyes, which intercept different rays of light from the coin, you perceive the coin to bewhere extensions of the intercepted rays cross, at depthdainstead of d. Assuming that the intercepted rays in Fig. 34-57 are close to a vertical axis through the coin, show that da=dn.
