Question

Two concave lenses L1 and L2 are kept in contact with each other. If the space between the two lenses is filled with material of refractive index μ=1, the magnitude of focal length of the combination
  1. Becomes undefined
  2. Remains unchanged
  3. Increases
  4. Decreases

A
Remains unchanged
B
Increases
C
Becomes undefined
D
Decreases
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Let us assume if two identical lens are combined then effective focal length of the lens become half.
1fnet=1f1f=2f
fnet=f2
Hence combination of lens decreases the net focal llength.
