The following figure represents two biconvex lenses L1 and L2 having focal length 10 cm and 15 cm respectively. The distance between L1 & L2 is : [figure]
- 25 cm
- 35 cm
- 10 cm
- 15 cm
Answer
(1) 25 cm
Solution
The parallel ray, after L1, passes through the second focus of L1.
It comes out of L2 parallel to the axis, so it must be coming from the first focus of L2.
Hence the two foci coincide, and the lens separation is
d = f1 + f2 = 10 + 15 = 25 cm
Answer: (1)
