The dispersive powers of the materials of two lenses forming an achromatic combination are in the ratio of $4:3$. If the effective focal length of the combination is $+60 \ cm$,then the focal lengths of the lenses should be:

  • A
    $-20 \ cm, 25 \ cm$
  • B
    $20 \ cm, -25 \ cm$
  • C
    $-15 \ cm, 20 \ cm$
  • D
    $15 \ cm, -20 \ cm$

The focal length (in $cm$) of a lens with dispersive power $0.45$ that should be placed in contact with a convex lens of focal length $84 \,cm$ and dispersive power $0.21$ to form an achromatic combination is:

$A$ 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 $cm$?

$A$ convex and a concave lens separated by a distance are then put in contact. How does the focal length of the combination change?

$A$ thin convex lens of focal length $5 \ cm$ and a thin concave lens of focal length $4 \ cm$ are combined together (without any gap) and this combination has magnification $m_1$,when an object is placed $10 \ cm$ before the convex lens. Keeping the positions of the convex lens and object undisturbed,a gap of $1 \ cm$ is introduced between the lenses by moving the concave lens away,which leads to a change in the magnification of the total lens system to $m_2$. The value of $\left|\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right|$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ convex lens is in contact with a concave lens. The magnitude of the ratio of their focal lengths is $2/3$. Their equivalent focal length is $30 \ cm$. What are their individual focal lengths?
