BE EASY BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT
Lens Formula

Lens formula

To be applied keeping in mind:

1. Same medium on both side of lens μ1 , lens medium of μ2

2. Thin lens, thickness is negligible as compared to object distance.

3. Light rays are Paraxial

Focus of Lens
Point where parallel incident rays will intersect after refraction.

If object is kept at infinity its image will be at focus.

Convex Lens Concave Lens

(or) (or)
Converging Lens Diverging Lens
Second Focus

F2 : second focus of lens

PF2 : second focal length (f2)

As u = ∞ then

⇒ v=f

Second focal length f2 is +ve for convex lens -ve for concave lens
Second Focus
Second focal length f2 is +ve for convex lens
-ve for concave lens

By lens Maker’s formula

For convex lens R1 > 0 & R2 < 0 So,

and as long as μ2 > μ1 , f will also be +ve

For concave lens R1 < 0 & R2 > 0 so, f is -ve

Alternative definition of Focus

Point where object should be kept such that rays emerging after refraction are parallel to
principal axis or image is formed at infinity.

P P F1
F1

Object is placed at F1, image is formed at infinity

First Focus
F1 : first focus of the lens

PF1 : first focal length of lens (f1)

v=∞

u = - f1

f1 for convex lens is -ve

f1 for concave lens is +ve

Example Concave lens of focal length 20 cm has object placed 12 cm from it. Determine
position of image.

A. 12.5 cm B. -9.5 cm C. -7.5 cm D. 11 cm

Example Figure given below shows a beam of light converging at point P. When a
concave lens of focal length 16 cm is introduced in the path of the beam at a
place O shown by dotted line such that OP becomes the axis of the lens, the
beam converges at a distance x from the lens. The value x will be equal to

A. 12 cm
B. 24 cm
C. 36 cm
D. 48 cm
Example Find the focal length of the lens as shown in figure.

Example Convex lens of focal length 15 cm has object kept at 45 cm from it. If height of
Object is 15cm determine, position and height of Image.
Example A pin of length 2.0cm lies along the principal axis of a converging lens, the
centre being at a distance of 11 cm from the lens. The focal length of the lens
6 cm. Find the size of the image.
Example An object 2.5 cm high is placed in front of a convex lens of focal length 30cm.
If the height of image formed is 5 cm, find the distance between the object
and the image?

and the image?
Example The power of a thin convex lens (aμg = 1.5) is + 5.0 D. When it is placed in a
liquid of refractive index aμl , then it behaves as a concave lens of local length
100 cm. The refractive index of the liquid aμl will be

A. 5/3
B. 4/3
C. √3
D. 5/4
