Question

Two lenses of powers +12 D and –2D are placed in contact. This combination is placed between an object and a screen which are 60 cm apart. If this combination is kept in two positions between object and screen, a real image of the object is formed on the screen. Calculate the distance between the two positions of the combination.  

Solution

Correct option is

34.6 cm

 

The power P of the combination is   

                           

∴ focal length of the combination is

                         

If a be the distance between object and screen, and d the distance between the two positions of the combination, then

                         

Here a = 60 cm.
