$\rightarrow$ Figure $(a)$ shows the geometry of image formation by a convex lens.
$\rightarrow$ A point object $O$ is placed at a distance $u$ from the optical centre.
On the other side of the lens there is image $I$.
Here image distance is $v$.
The radii of curvature of both surfaces of the lens are $R_1$ and $R_2$ respectively and the focal length of the lens is $f$.
$\rightarrow$ The image formation can be seen in terms of two steps :
$(i)$ The first refracting surface forms the image $I_1$ of the object $O. ($figure $b)$
$(ii) $ The image $I _1$ acts as a virtual object for the second surface. $($figure $c)$ that forms image at $I$ .
$\rightarrow$ For refraction at interface $\text{ABC} $,
$\frac{n_1}{ OB }+\frac{n_2}{ BI _1}=\frac{n_2-n_1}{ BC _1}......(1)$
$\rightarrow $ A similar procedure applied to the interface $\text{ADC}$ gives,
$-\frac{n_2}{ DI _1}+\frac{n_1}{ DI }=\frac{n_2-n_1}{ DC _2}$
$\rightarrow$ For a thin lens,
$BI _1= DI _1$
$\therefore -\frac{n_2}{ BI _1}+\frac{n_1}{ DI }=\frac{n_2-n_1}{ DC _2}......(2)$
$\rightarrow$ Adding equations $(1)$ and $(2),$
$\frac{n_1}{ OB }+\frac{n_1}{ DI }=\frac{n_2-n_1}{ BC _1}+\frac{n_2-n_1}{ DC _2}......(3)$
$\rightarrow$ Suppose the object is at infinity
i.e. $OB \rightarrow \infty$ and $DI \rightarrow f \ ($focal length$)$
$\rightarrow$ from equation $(3),$
${c}0+\frac{n_1}{f}=\frac{n_2-n_1}{ BC _1}+\frac{n_2-n_1}{ DC _2}$
$\therefore \frac{n_1}{f}=\left(n_2-n_1\right)\left(\frac{1}{ BC _1}+\frac{1}{ DC _2}\right)$
$\rightarrow$ Now substituting $BC _1= R _1$ and $DC _2=- R _2$ in above equation.
$($Positive and negative signs are determined according to the sign convention$)$.
$\therefore \frac{n_1}{f}=\left(n_2-n_1\right)\left(\frac{1}{ R _1}-\frac{1}{ R _2}\right)$
$\therefore \frac{1}{f}=\left(\frac{n_2-n_1}{n_1}\right)\left(\frac{1}{ R _1}-\frac{1}{ R _2}\right)$
$\therefore \frac{1}{f}=\left(\frac{n_2}{n_1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{ R _1}-\frac{1}{ R _2}\right)$
$\therefore \frac{1}{f}=\left(n_{21}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{ R _1}-\frac{1}{ R _2}\right)$
$\rightarrow$ This equation is known as lensmaker's formula.
$\rightarrow$ Note that the formula is true for a concave lens also.
For concave lens $R_1$ is negative, $R_2$ positive and therefore $f$ is negative.

Refer to the previous problem. Suppose, the goldsmith argues that he has not mixed copper or any other material with gold, rather some cavities might have been left inside the ornament. Calculate the volume of the cavities left that will allow the weights given in that problem.
When a monochromatic radiations of suitable frequency obtained from source $S,$ after being filtered by a filter attached on the window $W,$ fall on the photosensitive place $C,$ the photo electrons are emitted from $C,$ which get accelerated towards the plate $A$ if it is kept at positive potential. These electrons flow in the outer circuit resulting in photoelectric current. Due to it, the microammeter shows a deflection. The reading of micrommeter measures the photoelectric current.

An experimental setup of verification of photoelectric effect is shown in figure. The voltage across the electrodes is measured with the help ofan ideal voltmeter, and which can be varied by moving jockey Jon the potentiometer wire. The battery used in potentiometer circuit is of $16 V$ and its internal resistance is $2\Omega$. The resistance of $100\ cm$ long potentiometer wire is $8\Omega$.

The photocurrent is measured with the help of an ideal ammeter. Two plates of potassium oxide of area $50\ cm^2$ at separation $0.5\ mm$ are used in the vacuum tube. Photocurrent in the circuit is very small, so we can treat the potentiometer circuit as an independent circuit.​​​​​​​

This energy possessed by a system of charges by virtue of their positions. When two like charges lie infinite distance apart, their potential energy is zero because no work has to be done in moving one charge at infinite distance from the other.
