In the figure shown here, what is the equivalent focal length of the combination of lenses (Assume that all layers are thin)?

  1. A

    cm

  2. B

    cm

  3. C

    cm

  4. D

    cm

Solution

Treat the system as three thin lenses in contact: two plano-concave liquid lenses (one on each side) and one biconvex glass lens.

Using the lensmaker's formula with appropriate sign conventions:

Left liquid lens (): (after sign analysis).

Glass lens: .

Right liquid lens: .
