$A$ combination of two thin lenses of the same material with focal lengths $f_1$ and $f_2$,arranged on a common axis,minimizes chromatic aberration if the distance between them is:

  • A
    $\frac{f_1 + f_2}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{f_1 + f_2}{2}$
  • C
    $f_1 + f_2$
  • D
    $2(f_1 + f_2)$

Obtain the equivalent focal length of a combination of thin lenses placed in contact.

$A$ thin convex lens of focal length $10 \ cm$ is placed in contact with a concave lens of the same material and of the same focal length. The focal length of the combination will be:

Two lenses have focal lengths of $+10 \ cm$ and $-15 \ cm$. When they are placed in contact,the combination acts as a convex lens. If the chromatic aberration is zero,what is the ratio of their dispersive powers?

As shown in the figure,a concave lens of focal length $50 \, cm$ and a convex lens of focal length $25 \, cm$ are placed in contact with each other. If a parallel beam of light is incident on the system,how will it emerge?

The dispersive powers of the materials of two lenses forming an achromatic combination are in the ratio of $4:3$. If the effective focal length of the combination is $+60 \ cm$, then the focal lengths of the lenses should be:
