Q45 · Physics

In the figure shown here, what is the equivalent focal length of the combination of lenses (Assume that all layers are thin)?

The figure, described in words

A biconvex lens of refractive index n1 = 1.5 (surfaces R1 = R2 = 20 cm) set inside a slab of medium n2 = 1.6 filling the region around it, forming two plano-concave layers of n2 on either side.

  1. 1−50 cm
  2. 240 cm
  3. 3−40 cm
  4. 4−100 cmOfficial answer
