JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 26)

A convex lens is put 10 cm from a light source and it makes a sharp image on a screen, kept 10 cm from the lens. Now a glass block (refractive index 1.5) of 1.5 cm thickness is placed in contact with the light source. To get the sharp image again, the screen is shifted by a distance d. Then d is :
1.1 cm away from the lens
0
0.55 cm towards the lens
0.55 cm away from the lens

Explanation

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th January Morning Slot Physics - Geometrical Optics Question 179 English Explanation 1

Image is formed on the screen.

So, v = 10 cm

and $$\mu $$ = $$-$$ 10 cm

Using formula,

$${1 \over v} - {1 \over u} = {1 \over f}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   $${1 \over {10}} - {1 \over {\left( { - 10} \right)}}$$ = $${1 \over f}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   f = 5 cm

Now a glass block is placed like this,

Because of this glass block source will move t$$\left( {1 - {1 \over \mu }} \right)$$ in the direction of incident ray.

$$ \therefore $$   S' = t$$\left( {1 - {1 \over \mu }} \right)$$

= 1.5$$\left( {1 - {2 \over 3}} \right)$$

= 0.5

$$ \therefore $$   now distance of source from the lens = 10 $$-$$ 0.5 = 9.5 cm

$$ \therefore $$   $$\mu $$ = $$-$$ 9.5 cm

$$ \therefore $$   $${1 \over v} - {1 \over {\left( { - 9.5} \right)}}$$ = $${1 \over 5}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   $${1 \over v}$$ = $${1 \over 5} - {2 \over {19}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   $${1 \over v}$$ = $${9 \over {95}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   v = 10.55 cm

So, to get sharp image screen should shift away (10.55 $$-$$ 10) = 0.55 cm from the lens.
