Explain the first focal point and second focal point for a lens.
(N/A) $(i)$ First focal point: It is the position of an object on the principal axis such that the rays of light originating from it become parallel to the principal axis after refraction through the lens. It is denoted by $F_{1}$.
$(ii)$ Second focal point: It is the position of a point-like image on the principal axis formed by the lens when the incident rays of light are parallel to the principal axis. It is denoted by $F_{2}$.
$(ii)$ Second focal point: It is the position of a point-like image on the principal axis formed by the lens when the incident rays of light are parallel to the principal axis. It is denoted by $F_{2}$.

View Solution$A$ biconvex lens of radius of curvature $R$ is made up of a variable refractive index $\mu = 2[1 + \frac{|y|}{d}]$. Assume $2d << R$. $A$ point object is placed at a distance $R$ on the principal axis as shown in the figure. If the spread of the image lies over a span of $n$ meters,find the value of $n$.
The focal length of a thin biconvex lens is $20 \ cm$. When an object is moved from a distance of $25 \ cm$ in front of it to $50 \ cm$,the magnification of its image changes from $m_{25}$ to $m_{50}$. The ratio $\frac{m_{25}}{m_{50}}$ is
