Question

Two plano convex lenses of focal lengthsf1 andf2 set for minimising spherical aberration are kept apart by 2 cm. If the equivalent focal length of combination is 10 cm, the values of f1 and f2 are :
  1. 18cm,16cm
  2. 18cm,20cm
  3. 20cm,22cm
  4. 14cm,20cm

A
20cm,22cm
B
14cm,20cm
C
18cm,16cm
D
18cm,20cm
Solution
Verified by Toppr

d=f2f1

f2f1=2 f2=2+f1

feq=f1f2f1+f2d=f1f2f1+f22=10

(f1)(2×f1)(2f1)=10

2+f1=20

f1=18cm

f2=2+f1=20cm

Q5
A combination of two thin lenses with focal lengths f1 and f2 respectively forms an image of distant object at distance 60 cm when lenses are in contact. The position of this image shifts by 30 cm towards the combination when two lenses are separated by 10 cm. The corresponding values of f1 and f2 are
