$A$ thin convex lens of focal length $5 \ cm$ and a thin concave lens of focal length $4 \ cm$ are combined together (without any gap) and this combination has magnification $m_1$, when an object is placed $10 \ cm$ before the convex lens. Keeping the positions of the convex lens and object undisturbed, a gap of $1 \ cm$ is introduced between the lenses by moving the concave lens away, which leads to a change in the magnification of the total lens system to $m_2$. The value of $\left|\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right|$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ collimated beam of light of diameter $2 \ mm$ is propagating along the $x$-axis. The beam is required to be expanded into a collimated beam of diameter $14 \ mm$ using a system of two convex lenses. If the first lens has a focal length of $40 \ mm$, then the focal length of the second lens is . . . . . . $mm$.

Find the equivalent focal length of a combination of two convex lenses in contact,each having a focal length of $30 \ cm$. (in $cm$)

Two thin lenses in contact form an achromatic doublet of power $+2 \text{ D}$. The power of the convex lens is $+5 \text{ D}$. What is the ratio of the dispersive powers of the converging and diverging lenses?
