(C) Given: Focal lengths $f_1 = +30 \, cm$ (convex),$f_2 = -10 \, cm$ (concave),$f_3 = +5 \, cm$ (convex).Since the incident beam is parallel to the principal axis and the emergent beam from $L_3$ is also parallel to the principal axis (as it converges at the focus of $L_3$,which implies the rays incident on $L_3$ must be parallel to the principal axis),the combination of $L_1$ and $L_2$ must act as a system that produces a parallel beam from a parallel beam.For a system of two lenses separated by distance $d$ to act as a beam expander/collimator,the effective focal length of the combination must be infinite,or the image formed by $L_1$ must coincide with the object point for $L_2$.Using the formula for the equivalent focal length of two lenses separated by distance $d$:$\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{f_1} + \frac{1}{f_2} - \frac{d}{f_1 f_2}$For the output to be parallel,$F = \infty$,so $\frac{1}{F} = 0$.$0 = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{-10} - \frac{d}{30 	imes (-10)}$$0 = \frac{1}{30} - \frac{1}{10} + \frac{d}{300}$$\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{30} = \frac{d}{300}$$\frac{3 - 1}{30} = \frac{d}{300}$$\frac{2}{30} = \frac{d}{300}$$d = \frac{2 	imes 300}{30} = 20 \, 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

Two thin equiconvex lenses each of focal length $0.2 \,m$ are placed coaxially with their optic centres $0.5 \,m$ apart. Then the focal length of the combination is (in $\,m$)

$A$ lens maker has to design an achromatic combination of effective power $-0.5 \, D$. The two types of glasses to be used (say $A$ and $B$) have dispersive powers in the ratio $\omega_A : \omega_B = 3 : 5$. Then the lens made from glass $A$ will have a focal length of ....... $cm$.

It is desired to make an achromatic combination of two lenses ($L_1$ and $L_2$) made of materials having dispersive powers $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ $(< \omega_1)$. If the combination of lenses is converging,then:
