A converging lens forms a real image II of an object on its principal axis. A rectangular slab of refractive index (\mu) and thickness xx is introduced between II and the lens, II will move

Options

  1. Atowards the lens ((\mu-1) x)
  2. Btowards the lens by (\left(1-\frac{1}{\mu}\right) x)
  3. Caway from the lens by ((\mu-1) x)
  4. Daway from the lens by (\left(1-\frac{1}{\mu}\right) x).

Correct answer

D. away from the lens by (\left(1-\frac{1}{\mu}\right) x).

Step-by-step solution

Due to insertion of slab, the optical path increases by x/μx / \mu, where xx is thickness of slab. Therefore the converging point will shift away by [x−xμ]=x(1−1μ)\left[x-\frac{x}{\mu}\right]=x\left(1-\frac{1}{\mu}\right).
