A concave lens and a convex lens are arranged as shown in the figure. The position of the final image.

A concave lens and a convex lens are arranged as shown in the figure. The position of the final image.
  1. $17 \mathrm{~cm}$ to the left of convex lens
  2. $24.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ to the right of concave lens
  3. $29.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ to the right of concave lens
  4. $24.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ to the left of convex lens

Solution

For concave lens $ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{u}=-30 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \mathrm{f}=-20 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $ $ \begin{aligned} & \text { So, } \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{-30}=\frac{1}{-20} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}=-\frac{1}{30}-\frac{1}{20} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{~V}}=\frac{-20-30}{600} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=-12 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $ For convex lens $ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{u}=-(12+5)=-17 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \mathrm{f}=+10 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $ So, $\frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}$ $ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}-\frac{1}{-17}=\frac{1}{10} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{17} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{v}}=\frac{7}{170} \Rightarrow \mathrm{v}=\frac{170}{7}=24.2 \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned} $ So, final image will be $(24.2+5) \mathrm{cm}=29.2 \mathrm{~cm}$ to the right of concave lens
