$A$ convex lens $A$ of focal length $20 \,cm$ and a concave lens $B$ of focal length $56 \,cm$ are kept along the same axis with a distance $d$ between them. If a parallel beam of light falling on $A$ leaves $B$ as a parallel beam, then the magnitude of distance $d$ (in $cm$) is

$A$ plano-convex lens fits exactly into a plano-concave lens. Their plane surfaces are parallel to each other. If the lenses are made of different materials with refractive indices $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ and $R$ is the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the lenses,then the focal length of the combination is:

$A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a system of two convex lenses with focal lengths $f_1 = 20 \, cm$ and $f_2 = 10 \, cm$. What should be the distance between the two lenses so that the rays,after refraction from both lenses,emerge as a parallel beam? (in $cm$)

$A$ concave lens and a convex lens have the same focal length of $20 \ cm$ and are placed in contact. This combination is used to view an object $5 \ cm$ long kept at $20 \ cm$ from the lens combination. As compared to the object,the image will be:

In which optical instruments is a combination of lenses used?

$(a)$ Determine the 'effective focal length' of the combination of two lenses,a convex lens of focal length $30 \; cm$ and a concave lens of focal length $20 \; cm$,if they are placed $8.0 \; cm$ apart with their principal axes coincident. Does the answer depend on which side of the combination a beam of parallel light is incident? Is the notion of effective focal length of this system useful at all?
$(b)$ An object $1.5 \; cm$ in size is placed on the side of the convex lens in the arrangement $(a)$ above. The distance between the object and the convex lens is $40 \; cm$. Determine the magnification produced by the two-lens system,and the size of the image.
