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

One plano-convex and one plano-concave lens of same radius of curvature \(‘R’\) but of different materials are joined side by side as shown in the figure. If the refractive index of the material of \(1\) is \(\mu_1\) and that of \(2\) is \(\mu _2\), then the focal length of the combination is

  1. A \(\frac{R}{{2\left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2R}{{\left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{R}{{\left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{R}{{2 - \left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{R}{{\left( {{\mu _1} - {\mu _2}} \right)}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(1^{\text {st }}\) lens \(\frac{1}{{{f_1}}} = \left( {\frac{{{\mu _1} - 1}}{1}} \right)\) \(\left( {\frac{1}{\infty } - \frac{1}{{ - R}}} \right) = \frac{{{\mu _1} - 1}}{R}\) For \(2^{n d}\) lens \(\frac{1}{{{f_2}}} = \left( {\frac{{{\mu _2} - 1}}{1}} \right)\)…
