Question
An object AB is placed 15 cm on the left of a convex lens P of focal length 10 cm . Another convex lens Q is now placed 15 cm right of lens P . If the focal length of lens Q is 15 cm , the final image is $\_\_\_\_$
Options
A.virtual, formed at 7.5 cm right of lens Q , with a size bigger than that of AB
B.real, formed at 7.5 cm right of lens Q , with a size same than that of AB
C.formed at infinity.
D.real, formed at 7 cm right of lens Q , with a size smaller than that of AB
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Image from lens P ($f = 10$) is the object for lens Q ($f = 15$, $15$ cm away); apply the lens formula twice and $m = m_{1}m_{2}$.]
for $P\frac{1}{V} - \frac{1}{- 15} = \frac{1}{10}$
$\therefore v = + 30\text{ }cm = + 15\text{ }cm$ right of Q .
for $Q\frac{1}{{\text{ }V}^{'}} - \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{15}$
$${V^{'} = 7.5\text{ }cm }{m = m_{1}{\text{ }m}_{2} = \frac{30}{- 15} \times \frac{7.5}{15} = - 1 }$$
