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


  1. A \(3: 2: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 2: 3\)
  3. C \(1: 2: 1\)
  4. D \(1: 1: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: 1: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Effective focal length in each case is given by
\[
\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{f}+\frac{1}{f} \quad \text { or } \quad F=\frac{f}{2}
\]
