An object 2.4 m in front of a lens forms a sharp image on a film 12 cm behind the lens. A glass plate 1 cm thick, of refractive index 1.50 is interposed between lens and film with its plane faces parallel to film. By what distance (from lens) in m should object be shifted to form a sharp image on film?
Why this question? Caution: Since the slab shifts the image farther away from the lens, in order to form the image again on the film, the image distance should be less than the original image distance by the amount of shift caused. |
