The given lens is broken into four parts and rearranged as shown. If the initial focal length is f then after rearrangement the equivalent focal length is-
Options
- Af
- Bf / 2
- Cf / 4
- D4 f
Correct answer
B. f / 2
Step-by-step solution
Cutting a lens in transverse direction doubles their focal length i.e. 2 f . Using the formula of equivalent focal length, 1 f = 1 f₁ + 1 f₂ + 1 f₃ + 1 f₄ We get equivalent focal length as f / 2
