Which one of the sets of observations is not correct and why?
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
- Observation (2) shows an image distance of +20 cm for an object distance of -60 cm. This is not correct because the image formed by a convex lens should be at a larger distance when the object is placed farther away.
The correct relationship should show the image moving towards the focal point as the object distance decreases.
Thus, observation (2) seems to be incorrect.
Top Questions on Optics
- Name the type of lenses required by the persons for the correction of their defect of vision called presbyopia. Write the structure of the lenses commonly used for the correction of this defect giving reason for such designs.
- A beam of light coming from a distant source is refracted by a spherical glass ball (refractive index 1.5) of radius 15 cm. Draw the ray diagram and obtain the position of the final image formed.
- A double convex lens of glass has both faces of the same radius of curvature 17 cm. Find its focal length if it is immersed in water. The refractive indices of glass and water are 1.5 and 1.33 respectively.

- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : If Young’s double slit experiment is performed in an optically denser medium than air, then the consecutive fringes come closer.
Reason (R) : The speed of light reduces in an optically denser medium than air while its frequency does not change.
