Question
The plane faces of two identical plano-convex lenses, each having a focal length of 50 cm are placed against each other to form a usual biconvex lens. The distance from this lens combination at which an object must be placed to obtain a real, inverted image which has the same size as the object is :-
Options
A.25 cm
B.40 cm
C.50 cm
D.100 cm
Solution
On joining the plane surfaces of two identical plano-convex lenses the biconvex lens so formed has focal length
= (μ - 1)
where, R2 = - R1 = R
or
.....(i)
For each plano-convex lens,
= (μ - 1) 
.....(ii)
From eqs. (i) & (ii), we get
or F = 25 cm
For obtaining a real, inverted image of the object size, the object must be placed at a distance
R = 2F = 2 × 25 = 50 cm
= (μ - 1)where, R2 = - R1 = R
or
.....(i)For each plano-convex lens,
= (μ - 1) .....(ii)From eqs. (i) & (ii), we get
or F = 25 cm
For obtaining a real, inverted image of the object size, the object must be placed at a distance
R = 2F = 2 × 25 = 50 cm
