Question : 22 of 30
 
Marks: +1, -0
A convex lens of focal length 20cm is placed coaxially with a convex mirror of radius of curvature 20cm. The two are kept at 15cm apart from each other. A point object lies 60cm in front of the convex lens. Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image by the combination. Determine the nature and position of the image formed.
Solution:
u=−60cm and f=20cm
From the lens formula, we have:


1v−1u=1f
1v=1f+1u
=120+1−60
=3−160=260=130
v=+30cm
The positive sign indicates that the image is formed at the right of the lens.


The image I1 is formed behind the mirror and acts as a virtual oject for the mirror. The convex mirror forms the image I2, whose distance from the mirror can be determined as:

1v+1u=1f
Here, u=15cm
and, f=R2=10cm
1v=1f−1u
v=30cm
Hence, the final virtual image is formed at a distance 30cm from the convex mirror.
