Two thin lenses have a combined power of $+9 \text{ D}$. When they are separated by a distance of $20 \text{ cm}$,their equivalent power becomes $+\frac{27}{5} \text{ D}$. Their individual powers (in dioptre) are

  • A
    $1, 8$
  • B
    $2, 7$
  • C
    $3, 6$
  • D
    $4, 5$

$A$ 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?

The plane faces of two identical plano-convex lenses,each having a focal length of $40 \ cm$,are pressed against each other to form a biconvex lens. The distance from this lens at which an object must be placed to obtain a real,inverted image with a magnification of $1$ is ....... $cm$.

Two lenses in contact made of materials with dispersive powers in the ratio $2 : 1$ behave as an achromatic lens of focal length $10\,cm$. The individual focal lengths of the lenses are:

List-$I$ contains four combinations of two lenses ($1$ and $2$) whose focal lengths (in $cm$) are indicated in the figures. In all cases,the object is placed $20 \ cm$ from the first lens on the left,and the distance between the two lenses is $5 \ cm$. List-$II$ contains the positions of the final images.
