Question 240: Ray Optics

Question

A point object, 'O' is placed in front of two thin symmetrical coaxial convex lenses $$\mathrm{L}_{1}$$ and $$\mathrm{L}_{2}$$ with focal length $$24 \mathrm{~cm}$$ and $$9 \mathrm{~cm}$$ respectively. The distance between two lenses is $$10 \mathrm{~cm}$$ and the object is placed $$6 \mathrm{~cm}$$ away from lens $$\mathrm{L}_{1}$$ as shown in the figure. The distance between the object and the image formed by the system of two lenses is __________ $$\mathrm{cm}$$.

Accepted Answer

From I
st
lens :
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{24}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}} & =\frac{1}{24}-\frac{1}{6}=-\frac{1}{8} \\
\mathrm{v} & =-8 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}
$$
From II
nd
lens :
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}+\frac{1}{18}=\frac{1}{9}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}} & =\frac{1}{18} \\
\mathrm{v} & =18
\end{aligned}
$$
So distance between object and its image
= 6 + 10 + 18 = 34 cm
