JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments

A convergent doublet of separated lenses, corrected for spherical aberration, has resultant focal length of \(10\,cm\). The separation between the two lenses is \(2\,cm\). The focal lengths of the component lenses

  1. A \(18\,cm, 20\,cm\)
  2. B \(10\,cm, 12\,cm\)
  3. C \(12\,cm, 14\,cm\)
  4. D \(16\,cm, 18\,cm\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(18\,cm, 20\,cm\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For minimum spherical aberration separation \(d \,= f_1-f_2\, = 2\,cm\) Resultant focal lenght \(=F\,= 10\,cm\) Using \(\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{{{f_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{f_2}}} - \frac{d}{{{f_1}{f_2}}}\) and solving we get \(f_1\), \(f_2\) \(18\,cm\) and \(20\,cm\) respectively
