Question 14

The following figure represents two biconvex lenses $$L_1$$ and $$L_2$$ having focal length $$10 \text{ cm}$$ and $$15 \text{ cm}$$ respectively. The distance between $$L_1$$ & $$L_2$$ is 

image

Concept:

  • A ray passing through the focus of a convex lens emerges parallel.
  • Parallel rays entering a convex lens converge at its focus.

Condition for parallel output:
For rays emerging from $$L_1$$​ to become parallel after $$L_2$$, the image formed by $$L_1$$​ must lie at the focus of L_2​.

Hence, separation between lenses:

D = $$f_1 + f_2$$ = 10 + 15 = 25

Final Answer:

25 cm
