Combination of Lenses

A convex lens 'A' of focal length 20 cm and a concave lens 'B' of focal length 5 cm are kept along the same axis with a distance 'd' between them. If a parallel beam of light falling on 'A' leaves 'B' as a parallel beam, then the distance 'd' in cm will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Lens A focuses the parallel beam 20 cm behind it.
  2. For B to give a parallel beam, this point must be at B's focus (5 cm behind B, virtual object).
  3. d=20−5=15 cmd = 20 - 5 = 15\text{ cm}
  4. So the answer is (c) 15.
