What would be the position of image formed by the lens combination given in the figure below? |
6 cm to the right of third lens 7 cm to the right of third lens 7 cm to the left of third lens at ∞ to right of third lens |
6 cm to the right of third lens |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 6 cm to the right of third lens for the first lens ($f_1=+10cm$) $\frac{1}{f_1}=\frac{1}{v_1}-\frac{1}{u_1}$ $\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v_1}-\frac{1}{-20}$ $⇒\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{3}{20}$ $⇒v=\frac{20}{3}cm$ for the first lens ($f_2=-10cm$) $\frac{1}{f_2}=\frac{1}{v_2}-\frac{1}{u_2}$ $\frac{1}{-10}=\frac{1}{v_2}-\frac{3}{10}$ $⇒\frac{1}{v_2}=\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{3}{10}=\frac{-2}{10}$ $⇒v_2=5cm$ for the first lens ($f_3=+10cm$) $\frac{1}{f_3}=\frac{1}{v_3}-\frac{1}{u_3}$ $\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v_2}-\frac{1}{15}$ $⇒\frac{1}{v_3}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{3+2}{30}$ $⇒\frac{1}{v_3}=\frac{5}{30}cm$ $⇒v_3=6cm$ |
