A convex lens is in contact with concave lens. The magnitude of the ratio of their focal length is 2/3. Their equivalent focal length is 30 cm. What are their individual focal lengths? |
-75, 50 -10, 15 75, 50 -15, 10 |
-15, 10 |
$\frac{f_1}{f_2}=\frac{2}{3}$ (1) $\frac{1}{f_1}-\frac{1}{f_2}=\frac{1}{30}$ (2) Solving equations (1) and (2), ⇒ f2 = 15 cm (concave lens) f1 = 10 cm (convex lens) ∴ (d) |
