The given lens is broken into four parts and rearranged as shown. If the initial focal length is f and initial intensity of image is I, then after rearrangement the equivalent focal length and intensity of image is?

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Each part has a focal length = 2f
∴
=
+
+
+
=
+
+
+
= 
∴ F = 
Since the area of the lens exposed to incident light is half of the original and since intensity of image is proportional to area of the lens.
∴ intensity of image becomes half of the initial
∴ I ′ = I/2
Therefore the answer will be .
