A homemade illuminator is a cylindrical tube of radius with a black inner surface. A point source of light is located on the tube axis at a distance from the lens. The screen is placed in front of illuminator at such a distance that a sharp image of the point source of light is produced on it. Focal length of the lens is . What will be the inner radius of circle of light (in cm ) directly from the source on the screen, if you remove the tube and just keep the remaining arrangement as it is?

Answer:
4
Solution:

Lens formula: , so screen at cm

Without the tube, direct rays grazing the lens rim (radius cm at cm) set the inner edge

By similar triangles: cm
