Curved surfaces of a plano-convex lens of refractive index μ 1 and a plano-concave lens of refractive index μ 2 have equal radius of curvature as shown in figure. Find the ratio of radius of curvature to the focal length of the combined lenses
Options
- A1 μ 2 - μ 1
- B1 μ 1 - μ 2
- Cμ 2 - μ 1
- Dμ 1 - μ 2
Correct answer
D. μ 1 - μ 2
Step-by-step solution
1 f 1 = μ 1 - 1 1 R 1 f 2 = μ 2 - 1 1 - R ⇒ 1 f e q = 1 f 1 + 1 f 2 = μ 1 - 1 R - μ 2 - 1 R 1 f e q = μ 1 - μ 2 R ⇒ R f e q = μ 1 - μ 2
