COMEDK · Physics · 25. Ray Optics

A beam of parallel rays is brought to a focus by a plano-convex lens. A thin concave lens of the same focal length is joined to the first lens. The effect of this is

  1. A the focal point shifts away from the lens by a small distance
  2. B the focus remains undisturbed
  3. C the focus shifts to infinity
  4. D the focal point shifts towards the lens by a small distance
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) the focus shifts to infinity

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The combined focal length of plano-convex lens is \[ \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{f_{1}}+\frac{1}{f_{2}} \] where, \(f_{1}=\infty\) for the plane surface and \(f_{2}=f\)…
