Suppose three converging lenses L1L_1, L2L_2, and L3L_3 share an identical geometrical construction. The refractive indices of L1L_1 and L2L_2 are μ1\mu_1 and μ2\mu_2, respectively. As shown in the figure, the upper half of lens L3L_3 has a refractive index μ1\mu_1, while the lower half has μ2\mu_2. When placed in a specific position, lens L1L_1 forms an image of a point object OO at O1O_1, and lens L2L_2 placed in the same position forms an image at O2O_2. If lens L3L_3 is positioned at this same location,
Suppose three converging lenses L_1 , L_2 , and L_3 share an identical geometrical construction. The refractive indices

Options

  1. Aa single image will be formed somewhere between O1O_1 and O2O_2.
  2. Ban image will be formed at O1O_1.
  3. Ca single image will be formed away from O2O_2.
  4. Dan image will be formed at O2O_2.

Correct answer

D. an image will be formed at O2O_2.

Step-by-step solution

The focal length of a lens is given by the lens maker's formula:

1f=(μ−1)(1R1−1R2)\dfrac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1)\left(\dfrac{1}{R_1} - \dfrac{1}{R_2}\right)

For lens L1L_1 with refractive index μ1\mu_1, the image of object OO is formed at O1O_1.

For lens L2L_2 with refractive index μ2\mu_2, the image of object OO is formed at O2O_2.

Lens L3L_3 is composed of two halves: the upper half has a refractive index μ1\mu_1 and the lower half has a refractive index μ2\mu_2.

The upper half of L3L_3 will refract the light rays exactly as lens L1L_1 does, converging them to form an image at O1O_1.

The lower half of L3L_3 will refract the light rays exactly as lens L2L_2 does, converging them to form an image at O2O_2.

Since each half of the lens forms a complete image of the object independently (with reduced intensity), two distinct images will be formed: one at O1O_1 and another at O2O_2.
