$A$ combination of two thin lenses of the same material with focal lengths $f_1$ and $f_2$,arranged on a common axis,minimizes chromatic aberration if the distance between them is:

  • A
    $\frac{f_1 + f_2}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{f_1 + f_2}{2}$
  • C
    $f_1 + f_2$
  • D
    $2(f_1 + f_2)$

$A$ bi-convex lens is formed with two thin plano-convex lenses as shown in the figure. The refractive index $n$ of the first lens is $1.5$ and that of the second lens is $1.2$. Both the curved surfaces have the same radius of curvature $R = 14 \ cm$. For this bi-convex lens,if the object distance is $40 \ cm$,what will be the image distance (in $cm$)?

The plane faces of two identical plano-convex lenses,each with focal length $f$,are pressed against each other using an optical glue to form a convex lens. The distance from the optical centre at which an object must be placed to obtain an image of the same size as the object is

The size of the image of an object, which is at infinity, as formed by a convex lens of focal length $30\,cm$ is $2\,cm$. If a concave lens of focal length $20\,cm$ is placed between the convex lens and the image at a distance of $26\,cm$ from the convex lens, calculate the new size of the image. (in $cm$)
