Two identical thin plano-convex glass lenses (refractive index 1.5) each having radius of curvature of 20 cm are placed with their convex surfaces in contact at the centre. The intervening space is filled with oil of refractive index 1.7 . The focal length of the combination is
detailed solution
Correct option is A
Given combination is equivalent to three lenses. In which two are plano-convex with refractive index 1.5 and one is concave lens of refractive index 1.7 .Using lens maker formula, 1f=(μ-1)1R1-1R2For plano-convex lens R1=∞,R2=-20 cm∴ 1f1=1f2=(1.5-1)1∞-1-20=0.520=140 So, f1=f2=40 cmFor concave lens, μ=1.7,R1=-20 cm,R2=20 cm∴ 1f3=(1.7-1)1-20-120=0.7×-220=-7100 So, f3=-1007 cm Equivalent focal length feq of the system is given by 1feq=1f1+1f3+1f2=140+1-100/7+140=120-7100=-2100=-150∴ feq=-50 cmTalk to our academic expert!
