Q.

Given a thin convex lens (refractive index μ2), kept in a liquid (refractive index μ1,μ1<μ2) having radii of curvature |R1| and |R2|. Its second surface is silver polished. Where should an object be placed on the optic axis so that a real and inverted image is formed at the same place         [2025]

1 μ1|R1|·|R2|μ2(|R1|+|R2|)μ1|R1|  
2 μ1|R1|·|R2|μ2(|R1|+|R2|)μ1|R2|  
3 μ1|R1|·|R2|μ2(2|R1|+|R2|)μ1|R1|·|R2|  
4 (μ2+μ1)|R1|(μ2μ1)  

Ans.

1fl=(μ2μ11)(1R1+1R2)

fm=R22

Peq=2Pl+Pm

1|f|=2(μ2μ1)μ1(1R1+1R2)+2R2

           =2(μ2μ1)(R1+R2)μ1(R1R2)+2R2

1f=2μ2R1+2μ2R22μ1R12μ1R2+2μ1R1μ1R1R2

 f=μ1R1R22μ2R1+2μ2R22μ1R2

Required distance = 2f
