Ray Optics and Optical Instruments - Result Question 26
26. Two similar thin equi-convex lenses, of focal length f each, are kept coaxially in contact with each other such that the focal length of the combination is . When the space between the two lenses is filled with glycerin (which has the same refractive index ( as that of glass) then the equivalent focal length is . The ratio will be:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)

Answer:
Correct Answer: 26. (b)
Solution:
- (b)
Equivalent focal length in air
When glycerin is filled inside, it behaves like a concave lens of focal length (-f)
Dividing (i) by (ii), we get
