Combination of Lenses

Two thin lenses are of same focal lengths (f)(f), but one is convex and the other one is concave. When they are placed in contact with each other, the equivalent focal length of the combination will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. 1F=1f1+1f2\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{f_1} + \frac{1}{f_2} with f1=+ff_1 = +f, f2=−ff_2 = -f.
  2. 1F=1f−1f=0⇒F=∞\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{f} = 0 \Rightarrow F = \infty
  3. So the answer is (c) Infinite.
