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.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\frac{1}{{f}_{1}}=\left(\mu_{1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{{R}}\right)\)
\(\frac{1}{{f}_{2}}=\left(\mu_{2}-1\right)\left(-\frac{1}{{R}}\right)\)
\(\frac{1}{{f}_{1}}+\frac{1}{{f}_{2}}=\frac{1}{{f}_{{eq}}}=\frac{\left(\mu_{1}-1\right)-\left(\mu_{2}-1\right)}{{R}}\)
\(\frac{1}{f_{e q}}=\frac{\left(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\right)}{R}\)
\(\frac{{R}}{{f}_{{eq}}}=\left(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2}\right)\)
