An object in front of a lens forms a sharp image on a film behind the lens. A glass plate thick, of refractive index is interposed between lens and film with its plane faces parallel to film. At what distance (from lens) should object be shifted to be in sharp focus on film?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Initially: , .Using lens formula :

When glass plate is introduced, it causes a normal shift in the image distance.Shift .The image formed by the lens must now be at so that the final image (after shift) is at .Using lens formula again for new object distance :

L.C.M of and is .

.The object should be shifted to .
