A convex mirror of focal length f and a convex lens of focal length f/...
Solution:
Given,
focal length of convex mirror f
focal length of convex lens f/2
Distance between mirror and lens 2f
We need to find the distance of the object from the lens.
Let the distance of the object from the lens be x.
Using the mirror formula,
1/f = 1/v + 1/u
where,
v = distance of the image from the mirror
u = distance of the object from the mirror
For a convex mirror, the image is always virtual and formed behind the mirror.
So,
v = -u
Substituting this in the mirror formula, we get
1/f = -1/u - 1/u
1/f = -2/u
u = -f/2
Now, using the lens formula,
1/f = 1/v - 1/u
where,
v = distance of the image from the lens
For a convex lens, the image is formed on the opposite side of the object and is real when the object is placed beyond the focus.
So,
v = 2f
Substituting the given values, we get
1/f = 1/2f - 1/x + 2/f
1/x = 1/2f - 1/3f
1/x = 1/6f
x = 6f
Therefore, the distance of the object from the lens is 6f.
Hence, the correct option is (B) 5f/8.
