In a concave lens, a ray of light emanating from the object parallel to the principal axis of the lens, after refraction :

  1. passes through the second principal focus.
  2. appears to diverge from the first principal focus.
  3. passes through 2F, which is the radius of curvature of the lens.
  4. emerges parallel to the principal axis.

Answer

(2) appears to diverge from the first principal focus.

Solution

A concave lens is a diverging lens.

A ray parallel to the principal axis diverges after refraction.

When the refracted ray is produced backwards, it passes through the principal focus on the side of the object.

As per NCERT, this is the first principal focus of the concave lens.

the ray appears to diverge from the first principal focus.

Answer: (2)

Consider three media P, Q and R with refractive indices 1, 1.25, and 1.5 respectively. The medium Q having a thickness of 5 cm is placed between extended media P and R as shown in the figure. An object O is placed at the centre of medium Q. If viewed from medium P near the normal direction, the apparent depth of O is h1. For similar observation from medium R, the apparent depth is h2. The value of |h1 - h2|, in cm, is: [figure]
