A converging lens forms a real image (I ) of an object on its principal axis. A rectangular slab of refractive index ( ) and thickness (x ) is introduced between (I ) and the lens, (I ) will move
Options
- Atowards the lens (( -1) x )
- Btowards the lens by ( (1- 1 ) x )
- Caway from the lens by (( -1) x )
- Daway from the lens by ( (1- 1 ) x ).
Correct answer
D. away from the lens by ( (1- 1 ) x ).
Step-by-step solution
Due to insertion of slab, the optical path increases by x / , where x is thickness of slab. Therefore the converging point will shift away by [x- x ]=x (1- 1 ) .
