Prism
Question

The refracting angle of prism is 14110 and refractive index is 1.5. A thin convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed at distance 30 cm from the point source S as shown in figure. The position of image of point source S is

Difficult
Solution

δ=(μ1)A=(1.51)1411×π180=12×1411×227×180=190 tanδ=δ=h15 190=h15 h=16cm 

S’ behaves as object for the thin convex lens. For the lens,u=30cm,f=+20cm

1v1u=1f 1v130=120 Or 1v=120130=3260 v=60 cm h'=2×16=13cm     [h'h=vu]
