Spherical Surfaces & Thin Lenses

The minimum distance between an object and its real image formed by a convex lens of focal length 'f' is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Object–image distance D=∣u∣+vD = |u| + v for a real image.
  2. With 1v+1∣u∣=1f\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{|u|} = \frac{1}{f}, DD is minimum when ∣u∣=v=2f|u| = v = 2f.
  3. Dmin=2f+2f=4fD_{min} = 2f + 2f = 4f
  4. So the answer is (b) 4f4f.
