The dispersive powers of the materials of two lenses forming an achromatic combination are in the ratio of \(4: 3\). Effective focal length of the two lenses is \(+60 \mathrm{~cm}\) then the focal lengths of the lenses should be

  1. A \(-20 \mathrm{~cm}, 25 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(20 \mathrm{~cm},-25 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(-15 \mathrm{~cm}, 20 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D \(15 \mathrm{~cm},-20 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(15 \mathrm{~cm},-20 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} P=P_1+P_2 & =\frac{q}{f_1}+\frac{q}{f_2} \\ \frac{1}{60} & =\frac{q}{f_1}+\frac{q}{f_2} \\ \frac{1}{60} & =\frac{f_1+f_2}{f_1 f_2}\end{aligned}\) According to question, \(\frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2}=\frac{f_1}{f_2} \Rightarrow \frac{f_1}{f_2}=\frac{-4}{3}\) or…
