Combination of Lenses

Find the distance of the image from object O, formed by the combination of lenses in the figure:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Lens 1: 1v1=110−130⇒v1=15 cm\frac{1}{v_1} = \frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{30} \Rightarrow v_1 = 15\text{ cm}, i.e. 10 cm beyond lens 2.
  2. Lens 2 (virtual object u=+10u = +10, f=−10f = -10): 1v2=0\frac{1}{v_2} = 0, so the beam becomes parallel.
  3. Lens 3 (f=30f = 30) forms the image 30 cm to its right.
  4. Distance from O: 30+5+10+30=75 cm30 + 5 + 10 + 30 = 75\text{ cm}.
  5. So the answer is (a) 75 cm.
