Two thin plano-convex lenses each of focal length \(f\) are placed as shown in the figure. The ratio of their effective focal lengths in the three cases is

- A \(3: 2: 1\)
- B \(1: 2: 3\)
- C \(1: 2: 1\)
- D \(1: 1: 1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(1: 1: 1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Effective focal length in each case is given by
\[
\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{f}+\frac{1}{f} \quad \text { or } \quad F=\frac{f}{2}
\]
\[
\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{f}+\frac{1}{f} \quad \text { or } \quad F=\frac{f}{2}
\]
