If two lenses of $+5$ diopters are mounted at some distance apart,the equivalent power will always be negative if the distance is

$A$ convergent doublet of separated lenses,corrected for spherical aberration,has a resultant focal length of $10\,cm$. The separation between the two lenses is $2\,cm$. The focal lengths of the component lenses are:

$A$ combination of two thin convex lenses of focal lengths $0.3 \, m$ and $0.1 \, m$ will have minimum spherical and chromatic aberrations if the distance between them is . . . . . . $m$.

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:

Two lenses of power $-15 \ D$ and $+5 \ D$ are in contact with each other. The focal length of the combination is ....... $cm$.

$A$ 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 . . . . . . $mm$.
