Refraction Through A Lens Exercise 101

Solution 1

A lens may be defined as a transparent refracting medium bounded by two curved surfaces which are generally spherical.

Solution 2

Solution 3

Solution 4

Focal length of a lens: Rays of light can pass through the lens in any direction and hence there will be two focal lengths on either side of the lens and they are referred to as the first focal length and the second focal length of a lens:
(i) First focal length: The distance from the optical centre of the lens to its first focal point is called the first focal length (f1) of the lens.
(ii) Second focal length: The distance from the optical centre of the lens to its second focal point is called the second focal length (f2) of the lens.

Solution 5

Focal length of a plane mirror is infinity.

Solution 6

The SI unit of focal length is 'metre'.

Solution 7

Principal axis of a lens is the line joining the centres of curvatures of the two surfaces of the lens.

Solution 8

Focal plane of a lens: Rays of light can pass through the lens in any direction and hence there will be two focal planes on either side of the lens and they are referred to as the first focal plane and the second focal plane of a lens:
(i) First focal plane: It is the plane passing through the first focal point and normal to the principal axis of the lens.
(ii) Second focal plane: It is the plane passing through the second focal point and normal to the principal axis of the lens.

Solution 11

(i) If the medium on both sides of the lens is same, the first and second focal lengths are equal.
(ii) A ray of light passing through the optical centre of the lens passes undeviated.
