1.
a) A thin lens of refractive index ng has a focal length fa in air. Show that its
focal length fw when immersed in water of refractive index nw is given by
(n g 1)
fw = nw
fa.
(n g n w )
b) A thin equiconcave lens made of crown glass (ng =1.52) has a power of
8 D when it is immersed in water(nw =1.33). What will be its power when it
is in air?
Ans: -21.9 D

A thin converging lens of focal length f is to cast a real image N times greater
than the objects size. Show that l = (N + 1) f , where N is a positive integer.
5.
A real inverted image of an object is formed on a screen by a thin lens, and the
image and object are equal in size. When a second thin lens is placed in
contact with the first the screen must be moved 2 cm nearer the lenses in order
to obtain a clear image, and the size of this image is that of the first image.
Find the focal lengths of the two lenses.
Ans. + 4 cm and +24 cm.
6.
An object 5 cm from the first focal point of a thin converging lens produces a
real image 20 cm from the second focal point. If the radius of the first surface
is + 0.2 m and the refractive index of the glass is 1.5, find the radius of the
second surface and the linear magnification.
Ans. r2 = 6.667 cm and m = 2.

Use this relationship to show
(1 + lF )
that a thin diverging lens always produces an erect but diminished image of a
real, finite object.

A negative thin lens in air of focal length -10 cm is subject to incident plane
waves. What is the curvature or vergence of the wavefront 25 cm beyond the
lens?
Ans. 2.86 D
[Note here that the wavefront beyond the lens loses curvature (decreasing from
10 D immediately after the lens to 2.86 D, 25 cm beyond the lens]
5.
Three lenses of focal lengths 10 cm, 20 cm, and 40 cm are placed in contact
to form a single, compound lens.
a) Determine the powers of the individual lenses and that of the unit, in
diopters.
b) Determine the vergence of an object point 12 cm from the unit and that of
the resulting image. Find the location of the image.
Ans: a) 10 D,5 D,-2.5 D ; 12.5 D b) 8.36 D, 24 cm.
