Ray Optics and Optical Instruments - Result Question 32

32. A concave mirror of focal length ’ $f_1$ ’ is placed at a distance of ’ $d$ ’ from a convex lens of focal length ’ $f_2$ ‘. A beam of light coming from infinity and falling on this convex lens-concave mirror combination returns to infinity.

[2012] The distance ’ $d$ ’ must equal :

(a) $f_1+f_2$

(b) $-f_1+f_2$

(c) $2 f_1+f_2$

(d) $-2 f_1+f_2$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 32. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c)

$d=f_2+2 f_1$
