Question
An equiconvex lens having spherical surfaces of radius , a central thickness of , and a refractive index of is situated between air and water . An object high is placed in front of the lens surface. Find the cardinal points for the lens and the position and size of the image formed.
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 4The description of an image means how much the image is larger/smaller than real object . so the image dimension is given by
So all we have to do is to find the term and to find we need to find and so let's start with the equation of first focal distance
Where it is given that :
- (1) The lens index
- (2) The index of first medium is air's
- (3) The first radius
- (4) The second radius
- (5) The thickness
- (6) The index of second medium is water's
So substitution in (2) yields
The second focal distance
So substitution in (3) yields
