Q.

Two convex lenses of focal length 20 cm each are placed coaxially with a separation of 60 cm between them. The image of the distant object formed by the combination is at ____ cm from the first lens.                      [2023]


Ans.

(100)

f1=20 cm, f2=20 cm

1st refraction in L1(I1)

1v-1u=1f  1v-1=1f  v=f

2nd refraction in L2

I1object, I2image also,  u=-40 cm and f=20 cm

1v-1u=1f  1v-1(-40)=120      v=40 cm

Correct Answer is 100.
