Write the lens formula for a thin lens.
(N/A) The lens formula for a thin lens relates the object distance $(u)$,the image distance $(v)$,and the focal length $(f)$ of the lens.
It is given by the equation:
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$
Where:
$f$ is the focal length of the lens.
$v$ is the distance of the image from the optical center of the lens.
$u$ is the distance of the object from the optical center of the lens.
It is given by the equation:
$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u}$
Where:
$f$ is the focal length of the lens.
$v$ is the distance of the image from the optical center of the lens.
$u$ is the distance of the object from the optical center of the lens.

An object is moving with a velocity $V_O = 4 \text{ cm/sec}$ towards a convex lens of focal length $f = 10 \text{ cm}$. The lens is also moving with a velocity $V_L = 2 \text{ cm/sec}$ in the same direction. At the instant when the object is at a distance of $30 \text{ cm}$ from the lens,find the velocity of the image.

View SolutionIn an experiment with a convex lens,the plot of the image distance $(v')$ against the object distance $(u')$ measured from the focus gives a curve $v' u' = 225$. If all the distances are measured in $cm$,the magnitude of the focal length of the lens is $cm$.
An extended object is placed at point $O$,$10 \ cm$ in front of a convex lens $L_1$ and a concave lens $L_2$ is placed $10 \ cm$ behind it,as shown in the figure. The radii of curvature of all the curved surfaces in both the lenses are $20 \ cm$. The refractive index of both the lenses is $1.5$. The total magnification of this lens system is
The focal length of a converging lens in air is $R$. If it is dipped in water of refractive index $1.33$,then its focal length will be around (Refractive index of lens material is $1.5$).
