A convex lens has power P. It is cut into two halves along its principal axis. Further one piece (out of the two halves) is cut into two halves perpendicular to the principal axis . Choose the incorrect option for the reported pieces.
- Power of \(L_1 = \frac{P}{2}\)
- Power of \(L_2 = \frac{P}{2}\)
- Power of \(L_3 = \frac{P}{2}\)
- Power of \(L_1 = P\)
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
As We know that,
\(P=\frac{1}{f}=(µ-1)\bigg(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\bigg)\)
\(L_1:\frac{1}{f}=(µ-1)\bigg(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\bigg)=P_1=(µ-1)\bigg(\frac{2}{R}\bigg)=P\)
\(L_2:\frac{1}{f}=(µ-1)\bigg(\frac{1}{R_1}\bigg)=P_2=\frac{(µ-1)}{R}\)
\(L_3:\frac{1}{f}=(µ-1)\bigg(-\frac{1}{R_2}\bigg)=P_3=\frac{(µ-1)}{R}\)
Hence, Correct option is (A) : Power of \(L_1 = \frac{P}{2}\)

Questions Asked in JEE Main exam
A bob of mass \(m\) is suspended at a point \(O\) by a light string of length \(l\) and left to perform vertical motion (circular) as shown in the figure. Initially, by applying horizontal velocity \(v_0\) at the point ‘A’, the string becomes slack when the bob reaches at the point ‘D’. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the bob at the points B and C is:

Spherical Lenses
Lenses that are made by combining two spherical transparent surfaces are called spherical lenses. In general, there are two kinds of spherical lenses. Lenses that are made by joining two spherical surfaces that bulge outward are convex lenses, whereas lenses that are made by joining two spherical surfaces that curve inward are concave lenses.
Properties of Convex lens:
- In this, the lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges.
- They have a positive focal length.
- It intersects the incident rays towards the principal axis
- These lenses are used in the camera, focus sunlight, projector microscope, simple telescope, overhead projector, magnifying glasses, etc.
Properties of Concave lens:
- These lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges.
- They have a negative focal length.
- It parts the incident rays away from the principal axis.
- These are used in the glasses, spy holes, some telescopes in the doors, etc.
