$A$ biconvex glass lens has a focal length $f$ and power $P$. It is cut into two symmetric parts along its principal axis. If these two parts are joined as shown in figure $(b)$,what is the new power of the combination?

$(a)$ Determine the 'effective focal length' of the combination of two lenses,a convex lens of focal length $30 \; cm$ and a concave lens of focal length $20 \; cm$,if they are placed $8.0 \; cm$ apart with their principal axes coincident. Does the answer depend on which side of the combination a beam of parallel light is incident? Is the notion of effective focal length of this system useful at all?
$(b)$ An object $1.5 \; cm$ in size is placed on the side of the convex lens in the arrangement $(a)$ above. The distance between the object and the convex lens is $40 \; cm$. Determine the magnification produced by the two-lens system,and the size of the image.

The position of the final image formed by the given lens combination from the third lens will be at a distance of $(f_1 = +10 \ cm, f_2 = -10 \ cm, f_3 = +30 \ cm)$.

$A$ biconvex lens is formed by using two thin planoconvex lenses, as shown in the figure. The refractive index and radius of curved surfaces are also mentioned in the figure.
