Q.
Two convex lenses of focal lengths f1 and f2 form images with magnification m1 and m2, when used individually for an object kept at the same distance from the lenses. Then, f1/f2 is
The linear magnification of lens in terms of focal length f and u. m=f+uf
For first lens, u1=(m11−m1)t1
For second lens, u2=(m21−m2)f2
According to the question, u1=u2 ∴m1(m1−1)f1=m2(m2−1)f2 f2f1=m2m1⋅(m1−1)(m2−1) =m2(m1−1)m1(m2−1)
