Two thin equiconvex lenses each of focal length $0.2 \,m$ are placed coaxially with their optic centres $0.5 \,m$ apart. Then the focal length of the combination is (in $\,m$)

In the given optical instrument,how can a third lens of the same focal length be inserted to increase the light-collecting efficiency without changing the positions of the object and the image? Calculate the position of that lens.

An achromatic convergent doublet of two lenses in contact has a power $+2 \text{ D}$. The convex lens has power $+5 \text{ D}$. The ratio of the dispersive powers of the convergent and divergent lenses is (in magnitude)

As shown in the figure, a combination of a thin plano-concave lens and a thin plano-convex lens is used to image an object placed at infinity. The radius of curvature of both the lenses is $30\,cm$ and the refractive index of the material for both the lenses is $1.75$. Both the lenses are placed at a distance of $40\,cm$ from each other. Due to the combination, the image of the object is formed at a distance $x = ..........cm$ from the concave lens.

$A$ convex lens of focal length $0.5 \ m$ and a concave lens of focal length $1 \ m$ are combined. The power of the resulting lens will be: (in $D$)

Assertion: Two convex lenses joined together cannot produce an achromatic combination.
Reason: The condition for achromatism is $\frac{\omega_1}{f_1} + \frac{\omega_2}{f_2} = 0$,where symbols have their usual meaning.
