A convex lens and a concave lens, each having same focal length of $$25\,cm,$$ are put in contact to form a combination of lenses. The power in diopters of the combination is
Focal length of combination of lenses placed in contact is
$$\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{{{f_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{f_2}}}$$
For convex lens, $${f_1} = 25\,cm$$
For concave lens, $${f_2} = - 25\,cm$$
Hence, $$\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{{25}} + \frac{1}{{ - 25}} = \frac{1}{{25}} - \frac{1}{{25}} = 0$$
$$\therefore F = \frac{1}{0} = \infty $$
Hence, power of combination,
$$P = \frac{1}{F} = 0\,D$$

A diverging lens with magnitude of focal length $$25\,cm$$ is placed at a distance of $$15\,cm$$ from a converging lens of magnitude of focal length $$20\,cm.$$ A beam of parallel light falls on the diverging lens. The final image formed is:
A.
real and at a distance of $$40\,cm$$ from the divergent lens
B.
real and at a distance of $$6\,cm$$ from the convergent lens
C.
real and at a distance of $$40\,cm$$ from convergent lens
D.
virtual and at a distance of $$40\,cm$$ from convergent lens.
Answer :
real and at a distance of $$40\,cm$$ from convergent lens
As parallel beam incident on diverging lens will form image at focus.
∴ $$v = - 25\,cm$$
The image formed by diverging lens is used as an object for converging lens,
So, for converging lens $$u = - 25 - 15 = - 40\,cm, f = 20\,cm$$
∴ Final image formed by converging lens
$$\frac{1}{V} - \frac{1}{{ - 40}} = \frac{1}{{20}}$$
or, $$V = 40\,cm$$ from converging lens real and inverted.

A plano convex lens fits exactly into a plano concave lens. Their plane surface are parallel to each other. If the lenses are made of different materials of refractive indices $${\mu _1}\,\& \,{\mu _2}$$ and $$R$$ is the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lenses, then focal length of combination is
A.
$$\frac{R}{{{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}}}$$
B.
$$\frac{{2R}}{{{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}}}$$
C.
$$\frac{R}{{2\left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}$$
D.
$$\frac{R}{{2 - \left( {{\mu _1} + {\mu _2}} \right)}}$$
As wavelength of violet light $${\lambda _{{\text{violet}}}} < {\text{Wave}}$$
length of red light $${\lambda _{{\text{red}}}},$$
therefore, refractive index of violet light $${\mu _{{\text{violet}}}} > $$
Refractive index of red light $${\mu _{{\text{red}}}}.$$
Hence, $${f_{{\text{red}}}} > {f_{{\text{violet}}}}$$
So, focal length of lens for red light is maximum than other visible spectrum of light.

A biconvex lens of focal length $$15\,cm$$ is in front of a plane mirror. The distance between the lens and the mirror is $$10\,cm.$$ A small object is kept at a distance of $$30\,cm$$ from the lens. The final image is
A.
virtual and at a distance of $$16\,cm$$ from the mirror
B.
real and at a distance of $$16\,cm$$ from the mirror
C.
virtual and at a distance of $$20\,cm$$ from the mirror
D.
real and at a distance of $$20\,cm$$ from the mirror
Answer :
real and at a distance of $$16\,cm$$ from the mirror
Focal length of the biconvex lens is $$15\,cm.$$ A small object is placed at a distance of $$30\,cm$$ from the lens i.e. at a distance of $$2\,f.$$ Therefore the image should form at $$30\,cm$$ from the lens at $${I_1}.$$
But since the ray strike the plane mirror before reaching $${I_1},$$ the image $${I_1}$$ acts as the virtual object for reflection on plane mirror kept at a distance of $$20\,cm$$ from it. It should produce an image $${I_2}$$ but as the ray encounters the lens, it gets refracted and the final image is formed
at $${I_3}.$$ For the last refraction from the biconvex lens, $$u = 10\,cm.$$
Applying lens formula $$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \,\frac{1}{\nu } - \frac{1}{{10}} = \frac{1}{{15}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\frac{1}{\nu } = \frac{1}{{15}} + \frac{1}{{10}} = \frac{{25}}{{150}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\nu = 6\,cm \cr} $$
Therefore a real image is formed at a distance of $$16\,cm$$
from the plane mirror.

A telescope has an objective lens of $$10\,cm$$ diameter and is situated at a distance of one kilometre from two objects. The minimum distance between these two objects, which can be resolved by the telescope, when the mean wavelength of light is $$5000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ ,$$ is of the order of
Resolving limit of telescope is given by $$\theta \propto \frac{x}{D} = \frac{\lambda }{d}$$
$$\lambda =$$ wavelength
$$d =$$ diagram of objective lens of telescope
$$D =$$ Distance between object and telescope
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow x = \frac{{\lambda D}}{d} \cr
& {\text{Given,}}\,\,\lambda = 5000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ = 5000 \times {10^{ - 10}}m, \cr
& D = 1\,km = 1000\,m, \cr
& d = 10\,cm = 0.1\,m \cr
& {\text{Hence,}}\,\,x = \frac{{5000 \times {{10}^{ - 10}} \times 1000}}{{0.1}} \cr
& = 5 \times {10^{ - 3}}m \cr
& = 5\,mm \cr} $$
