Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
An object $2.4 \mathrm{~m}$ in front of a lens forms a sharp image on a film $12 \mathrm{~cm}$ behind the lens. A glass plate $1 \mathrm{~cm}$ thick, of refractive index $1.50$ is interposed between lens and film with its plane faces parallel to film. At what distance (from lens) should object be shifted to be in sharp focus on film?

The correct answer is:
$5.6 \mathrm{~m}$
Case $\mathrm{I}: \mathrm{u}=-240 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{v}=12$, by Lens formula
$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{7}{80}$
Case $\mathrm{II}$: $\mathrm{v}=12-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{35}{3}$ (normal shift $=1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$ )
$f=\frac{7}{80}$
$u=5.6$
