A point source of light is kept at a distance of 15 cm from a converging lens, on its optical axis. The focal length of the lens is 10 cm and its diameter of aperture is 3 cm. A screen is placed on the other side of the lens, perpendicular to the axis of the lens, at a distance 20 cm from it. Find the area of the illuminated part of the screen.
