Combination of Lenses

Two thin lenses having R1,R2R_1, R_2 as the radii of curved surfaces are kept coaxially together. Their power is proportional to

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Lens maker formula: P∝1R1+1R2P \propto \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} (magnitudes, for a converging combination).
  2. 1R1+1R2=R1+R2R1R2\frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} = \frac{R_1 + R_2}{R_1 R_2}
  3. So the answer is (d) R1+R2R1R2\frac{R_1 + R_2}{R_1 R_2}.
