Three thin lenses are combined by placing them in contact with each other to get more magnification in an optical instrument. Each lens has a focal length of \(3 \mathrm{~cm}\). If the least distance of distinct vision is taken as \(25 \mathrm{~cm}\), the total magnification of the lens combination in normal adjustment is

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 26

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Combined focal length \(\left(\frac{1}{F}\right)=\frac{1}{F_1}+\frac{1}{F_2}+\frac{1}{F_3}\) \[ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad F=1 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \end{aligned} \] Magnification of the lens combination…
