Question

An achromatic doublet is a converging lens of equivalent focal length 100cm. If the dispersive powers of the material of the lenses are in the ratio 1:2. The focal lengths of the two lenses are:
  1. 50cm,+100cm
  2. +50cm,100cm
  3. 50cm,100cm
  4. +50cm,+100cm

A
50cm,+100cm
B
+50cm,100cm
C
+50cm,+100cm
D
50cm,100cm
Solution
Verified by Toppr

f=100cm, Now, from question: f1:f2=1:2f2=2f1
For an achromatic combination,
f1w1+f2w2=0
Also, the effective focal length of the combination will be,
1f=1f1+1f2
Solving these simultaneously and substituting the values,
the obtained focal lengths are: fo=50 and fe=100
