उत्तर
(a) The position of the object, and the image formed by a double convex lens,
(b) Refraction at the first spherical surface and (c) Refraction at the second spherical surface.
Figure (a) shows the geometry of image formation by a double convex lens. The image formation can be seen in terms of two steps: (i) The first refracting surface forms the image I1 of the object O [Fig. (b)]. The image I1 acts as a virtual object for the second surface that forms the image at I [Fig. (c)].
Applying Equation `"n"_2/"v"-"n"_1/"u" = ("n"_2-"n"_1)/"R"` to the first interface ABC,
We get
`"n"_1/"OB" + "n"_2/"BI"_1 = ("n"_2-"n"_1)/"BC"_1` ......(1)
A similar procedure applied to the second interface ADC gives,
`"n"_2/"DI"_1 +"n"_1/"DI" = ("n"_2-"n"_1)/"DC"_1` ......(2)
For a thin lens, BI1= DI1. Adding
Eqs. (1) and (2), we get
`"n"_1/"OB" + "n"_1/"DI" = ("n"_2 - "n"_1)(1/"BC"_1+1/"DC"_2)`.....(3)
Suppose the object is at infinity, i.e., `"OB" -> ∞ and "DI" = f, Eq.(3) "gives"`
`"n"_1/f = ("n"_2-"n"_2)(1/"BC"_1 + 1/"DC"_2) ......(4)`
The point where image of an object placed at infinity is formed is called the focus F, of the lens and the distance f gives its focal length.
By the sign convention,
`"BC"_1 = + "R"_1`
`"DC"_2 = -"R"_2`
So Eq.(4) can be written as
`1/f = ("n"_21 -1)(1/"R"_1 - 1/"R"_2).........(5) (∵ "n"_21 = "n"_2/"n"_1)`
Equation (5) is known as the lens maker’s formula. It is useful to design lenses of desired focal length using surfaces of suitable radii of curvature. Note that the formula is true for a concave lens also. In that case R1is negative, R2is positive and therefore, f is negative.
From Eqs. (3) and (4), we get
`"n"_1/"OB" + "n"_1/"DI" = "n"_1/f`...............(6)
Again, in the thin lens approximation, B and D are both close to the optical centre of the lens. Applying the sign convention,
BO = –u, DI = +v,we get
`1/"v"-1/"u"=1/f`.............(7)
Equation (7) is the familiar thin lens formula.

A point object is placed at a distance of 15 cm from a convex lens. The image is formed on the other side at a distance of 30 cm from the lens. When a concave lens is placed in contact with the convex lens, the image shifts away further by 30 cm. Calculate the focal lengths of the two lenses.
Two convex lenses, each of focal length 10 cm, are placed at a separation of 15 cm with their principal axes coinciding. (a) Show that a light beam coming parallel to the principal axis diverges as it comes out of the lens system. (b) Find the location of the virtual image formed by the lens system of an object placed far away. (c) Find the focal length of the equivalent lens. (Note that the sign of the focal length is positive although the lens system actually diverges a parallel beam incident on it.)
Define the term ‘focal length of a mirror’.
According to new Cartesian sign conventions, all the distances are measured from the ______.
Region I and II are separated by a spherical surface of a radius of 25 cm. An object is kept in the region I at a distance of 40 cm from the surface. The distance of the image from the surface is ______.
A spherical surface of radius R separates two medium of refractive indices µ1 and µ2, as shown in figure. Where should an object be placed in the medium 1 so that a real image is formed in medium 2 at the same distance?
Define the critical angle for a given pair of media and total internal reflection. Obtain the relation between the critical angle and refractive index of the medium.
Assertion: If critical angle of glass-air pair `("μg" = 3/2)` is θ1 and that of water-air pair `("μw" = 4/3)` is θ2, then the critical angle for the water-glass pair will lie between θ1 and θ2.
Reason: A medium is optically denser if its refractive index is greater.
In the Cartesian sign convention, distances measured in the direction of incident light are taken as:
Which ray is considered in the first step of the derivation for refraction at a spherical surface?
