Question

A concave lens and convex lens have same focal length of 16 cm each. They both are kept in contact. This combination is used to view an object 3.5 cm long, the image of this object is

A
Magnified
B
Diminished
C
Same size
D
Not visible
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The focal..length of convex lens is positive and concave lens negative, hence, combination
1f=1f1+1f2
Given, f1=f2
1f=1f11f2=0
f=
The combination has infinite focal length. Hence, image of object is of same size.

Q4

A convex lens (of focal length 20 cm) and a concave mirror, having their principal axes along the same lines, are kept 80 cm apart from each other. The concave mirror is to the right of the convex lens. When an object is kept at a distance of 30 cm to the left of the convex lens, its image remains at the same position even if the concave mirror is removed. The maximum distance of the object for which this concave mirror, would produce a virtual image by itself, would be:
