$A$ convex lens of focal length $20 \, cm$ is cut into two equal parts. This results in two plano-convex lenses as shown in the figure. These two parts are then placed in contact with each other as shown in the figure. What will be the focal length of the system in $cm$?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $20$

As shown in the figure, a combination of a thin plano-concave lens and a thin plano-convex lens is used to image an object placed at infinity. The radius of curvature of both the lenses is $30\,cm$ and the refractive index of the material for both the lenses is $1.75$. Both the lenses are placed at a distance of $40\,cm$ from each other. Due to the combination, the image of the object is formed at a distance $x = ..........cm$ from the concave lens.

An optical device is constructed by fixing three identical convex lenses of focal lengths $10 \,cm$ each inside a hollow tube at equal spacing of $30 \,cm$ each. One end of the device is placed $10 \,cm$ away from a point source. What is the image shift in $cm$ when the device is moved away from the source by another $10 \,cm$?

$A$ convex lens of power $+6 D$ is placed in contact with a concave lens of power $-4 D$. What is the nature and focal length of the combination?

The focal length of a combination of lenses formed with lenses having powers of $+2.50 \ D$ and $-3.75 \ D$ will be .... $cm$.

$A$ combination of two thin lenses with focal lengths $f_1$ and $f_2$ respectively forms an image of a distant object at a distance of $60 \ cm$ when the lenses are in contact. The position of this image shifts by $30 \ cm$ towards the combination when the two lenses are separated by $10 \ cm$. The corresponding values of $f_1$ and $f_2$ are:
