Combination of Lenses

Curved surfaces of a plano-convex lens of refractive index μ\mu1 and a plano-concave lens of refractive index μ\mu2 have equal radius of curvature as shown in figure. Find the ratio of radius of curvature to the focal length of the combined lenses.

Answer: (b)

  1. Plano-convex (μ1\mu_1) and plano-concave (μ2\mu_2) of the same RR in contact:
  2. 1f=μ1−1R−μ2−1R=μ1−μ2R\frac{1}{f} = \frac{\mu_1-1}{R} - \frac{\mu_2-1}{R} = \frac{\mu_1-\mu_2}{R}
  3. Rf=μ1−μ2\frac{R}{f} = \mu_1 - \mu_2
  4. So the answer is (b) μ1−μ2\mu_1 - \mu_2.
