6) A convex lens is placed in contact with a plane mirror. A point object at a distance of 20 cm
on the axis of this combination has its image coinciding with itself. What is the focal length
of the lens ?
SOL: Fig. shows a convex lens placed in contact with a plane mirror. An axial point object is placed
at O at a distance OC = 20 cm.
As the image I of the object coincides with O, the rays
refracted first from the lens and then reflected by the
plane mirror must be retracing their path. This would
happen when rays refracted by the convex lens fall
normally on the mirror i.e., the refracted rays form a beam
parallel to principal axis of the lens. Hence the object O
must be at the focus of the convex lens.
f = CO = 20 cm.
