Since, distance of object O from plane mirror M is (a + b), therefore, it forms a virtual image
at a distance (a + b) behind itself or a distance 2 (a + b) from the object O.
Since, there is no parallax between the images formed by the silvered lens L and plane mirror
M, therefore, two images are formed at the same point.
Hence, distance of Image from lens L is 2 (a + b) – a = (a + 2b) behind lens.
Since, length of Image formed by L is twice the length of image formed by the mirror M and
length of image formed by a plane mirror is always equal to length of the object, therefore,
modulus of transvers magnification produced by the lens L is equal to 2.
Since, distance of object from L is a, therefore, distance of image from L must be equal to 2a.
(a + 2b) = 2a or b = a/2 ....(1)
The slivered lens L may be assumed as a combination of an equi-convex lens and a concave
mirror placed in contact with each other co-axially as shown in Fig.

R1 = + r, R2 = –r, µ = 1.5
∴ Its focal length f1 is given by

or f1 = 40 cm
For concave mirror, R = –r = –40 cm

∴ Its focal length,

The combination L behaves like a mirror whose equivalent focal length F ls given by

or F = –10 cm
Hence, for the combination,
u = –a, v = +2a, F = – 10 cm

Using mirror formula,

a = 5 cm

14) Substituting a = 5 cm in equation (1).

b = 2.5 cm

Now, from given data
dN = 40, N0 = 3000
N = 3000 – 1000 = 2000
From equation (i)
2000 = 3000e–λt
