A thin converging lens with focal length f=25 cm projects the image of an object on a screen removed from the lens by a distance l=5.0 m. Then the screen was drawn closer to the lens by a distance Δl=18 cm. By what distance should the object be shifted for its image to become sharp again?

A source of light is located at a distance l=90 cm from a screen. A thin converging lens provides the sharp image of the source when placed between the source of light and the screen at two positions. Determine the focal length of the lens if
(a) the distance between the two positions of the lens is Δl=30 cm
(b) the transverse dimensions of the image at one position of the lens are η=4.0 greater than those at the other position.

A thin converging lens is placed between an object and a screen whose positions are fixed. There are two positions of the lens at which the sharp image of the object is formed on the screen. Find the transverse dimension of the object if at one position of the lens the image dimension equals h'=2.0 mm and at the other, h''=4.5 mm.

There are two thin symmetrical lenses, one is converging with refractive index n1=1.70, and the other is diverging with refractive index n2=1.51. Both the lenses have the same curvature radius of their surfaces, equal to R=10 cm. The lenses were put close together and submerged into water. What is the focal length of this system in water? Refractive index of water in air is 1.33 .

In Lioyd's mirror experiment (Figure.) a light wave emitted directly by the source S (narrow slit) interferes with the wave reflected from a mirror M. As a result, an interference fringe pattern is formed on the screen Sc. The source and the mirror are separated by a distance l=100 cm. At a certain position of the source the fringe width on the screen was equal to Δx=0.25 mm, and after the source was moved away from the mirror plane by Δh=0.60 mm, the fringe width decreased η=1.5 times. Find the wavelength of light.

Two coherent plane light waves propagating with a divergence angle ψ1 fall almost normally on a screen. The amplitudes of the waves are equal. Demonstrate that the distance between the neighbouring maxima on the screen is equal to Δx=λψ, where λ is the wavelength.
