Question

An achromatic convergent lens combination is made by keeping in contact a convex lens of focal length 20 cm and a concave lens of focal length 30 cm. Dispersive power of the material of convex lens is 0.18. Find the dispersive power of the material of the concave lens, and the focal length of the combination.  

Solution

Correct option is

0.27, + 60

 

(i) The condition for achromatism of two lenses in contact is

                        

  

where f and f’ are the mean focal lengths of the lenses and ω and ω are the respective dispersive powers of the material of the lenses.

  

       

(ii) If F is the focal length of the lens-doublet, then

                        

        

As the focal length of the doublet is positive, it will behave as a convex lens.
