NEET Physics Lenses MCQ Question
If two thin lenses, one convex with a focal length of 30 cm and one concave with a focal length of 20 cm, are placed in contact, what is the effective focal length of the lens system?
60 cm
-60 cm
12 cm
-12 cm
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using the formula for lenses in contact, 1/f = 1/f1 + 1/f2, where f1 = 30 cm and f2 = -20 cm (negative for concave), the effective focal length is computed as -12 cm.
