Curved surfaces of a plano-convex lens of refractive index \(\mu_{1}\) and a plano-concave lens of refractive index \(\mu_{2}\) have equal radius of curvature as shown in figure. Find the ratio of radius of curvature to the focal length of the combined lenses.

  1. A \(\frac{1}{\mu_{2}-\mu_{1}}\)
  2. B \(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}}\)
  4. D \(\mu_{2}-\mu_{1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{{f}_{1}}=\left(\mu_{1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{{R}}\right)\) \(\frac{1}{{f}_{2}}=\left(\mu_{2}-1\right)\left(-\frac{1}{{R}}\right)\) \(\frac{1}{{f}_{1}}+\frac{1}{{f}_{2}}=\frac{1}{{f}_{{eq}}}=\frac{\left(\mu_{1}-1\right)-\left(\mu_{2}-1\right)}{{R}}\)…
