A thin plano-convex lens fits exactly into a plano-concave lens with their plane surface parallel to each other as shown in the figure. The radius of curvature of the curved surfaceR=30 cm. The lens is made of a different material having refractive index μ 1 = 3 2  and  μ 2 = 5 4 as shown in the figure.
If the plane surface of the plano-convex lens is silvered, then calculate the equivalent focal length of this system in cm.

Answer:
60
Solution:



(i) Peq= 2 Pℓ1 + 2 P​ℓ2+ Pm...(1)

For plano-convex lens : 1 f 1 = 3 2 - 1 1 - 1 3 0

f 1 = - 6 0 cm P 1 = 1 0 0 f 1 P 1 = - 5 3 D

For plano-convex lens : ​ 1 f 2 = 5 4 - 1 1 30 - 1   ⇒   1 f 2 = 1 120

f 2 = 1 2 0 cm P 2 =100 f 2 P 2 = 5 6 D

For plane mirror : P m = 0 since f m = P eq = 2 P 1 + 2 P 2 + P m

P eq = - 1 0 3 + 1 0 6 + 0

P eq = - 1 0 6 D Peq=-1Feq

Feq=60 cm
