A converging beam of rays is incident on a diverging lens. Having passed through the lens the rays intersect at a point 15 cm from the lens on the opposite side. If the lens is removed the point where the rays meet will move 5 cm closer to the lens. The focal length of the lens is :

1. 5 cm
2. -10 cm
3. 20 cm
4. -30 cm

A lens having focal length f and aperture of diameter d forms an image of intensity I . An aperture of diameter $\frac{d}{2}$ in central region of lens is covered by a black paper. The focal length of lens and intensity of the image now will be respectively:

1. f and $\frac{\mathrm{I}}{4}$

2. $\frac{3f}{4} and \frac{I}{2}$

3. f and $\frac{3I}{4}$

4. $\frac{f}{2} and \frac{I}{2}$

Two thin lenses of focal lengths f₁ and f₂ are in contact and coaxial. The power of the combination is :

1.  $\sqrt{\frac{{\mathrm{f}}_1}{{\mathrm{f}}_2}}$

2.  $\sqrt{\frac{{\mathrm{f}}_2}{{\mathrm{f}}_1}}$

3.  $\frac{{\mathrm{f}}_1+{\mathrm{f}}_2}{{\mathrm{f}}_1{\mathrm{f}}_2}$

4.  None of the above

A boy is trying to start a fire by focusing sunlight on a piece of paper using an equiconvex lens of focal length 10 cm. The diameter of the sun is 1.39 x10⁹ m and its mean distance from the earth is 1.5 x 10¹¹ m. What is the diameter of the sun's image on the paper?

1.  $9.2\times {10}^{-4} \mathrm{m}$

2.  $6.5\times {10}^4 \mathrm{m}$

3.  $6.5\times {10}^{-5} \mathrm{m}$

4.  $12.4\times {10}^{-4} \mathrm{m}$

A convex lens and a concave lens, each having the same focal length of 25 cm, are put in contact to form a combination of lenses. The power in dioptres of the combination is:

1. 25

2. 50

3. infinite

4. zero
