An effective power of a combination of 5 identical convex lenses which are kept in contact along the principal axis is . Focal length of each of the convex lens is:
- A50 cm
- B20 cm
- C25 cm
- D500 cm
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Use power addition for lenses in contact
For thin lenses kept in contact, their powers add:
Since all 5 lenses are identical, let the power of each lens be . Then,
- Find power of each lens
- Use relation between power and focal length
where is in metres. So,
- Convert into cm
- Match with options
The focal length of each convex lens is:
So the correct option is B.
