The rays of different colours fail to converge at a point after going through a convex lens. This defect is called
The focal length of a convex lens are and for violet and red light respectively, then which one of the following relation is correct ?
Consider the four statements given below related to the images in a converging lens and choose the correct answer depicting the correct statements from the given options :
(a) When the object is at a distance 2F from the lens, the image is real, inverted and of the same size as that of the object.
(b) When the object is between 2F and F, the image is real, inverted and bigger than the object.
(c) When the object is farther than 2F from the lens, the image is real, inverted and smaller than the object.
(d) When the object is nearer than F, the image is inverted, magnified and virtual.
The near point N of a defective eye is 30 cm from the eye. If the normal near point is 25 cm from the eye, the power of the lens needed to correct this defect will be
Red light of wavelength 632 nm in free space is incident at an angle of theta = 39^\circ$ with respect to the normal on a glass slide of thickness d = 0.78 mm and index of refraction n = 1.52. The wavelength of light in glass will become
For correcting many defects of human eye vision LASIK procedure is often done which is an abbreviation of
When a thin convex lens is put in contact with a thin concave lens of same focal length. The resultant combination has focal length equal to
The image of an object is formed by a convex lens on a screen. If lower half of the lens is painted black , the intensity of image becomes:
