JEE Main 2023 — Ray Optics Question with Solution
JEE Main 2023 (24 Jan Shift 1)
Question
As shown in the figure, a combination of a thin plano-concave lens and a thin plano-convex lens is used to image an object placed at infinity. The radius of curvature of both the lenses is and refraction index of the material for both the lenses is . Both the lenses are placed at distance of from each other. Due to the combination, the image of the object is formed at distance ______ , from concave lens.

Step-by-step explanation

Using Lens Makers formula for the plano-concave part, we can write
Using Lens Makers formula for the plano-convex part, we can write
Image from first lens will be virtual and on the left of first lens at focal length . So the object for second lens will be from second lens which is . Final image is formed at from second lens on the right.
So, .
