    Figure shows two convex lenses \[P\] and\[Q\], each made up of three different transparent materials. The number of images formed of an object kept on the principal axis of lenses \[P\] and \[Q\] respectively

    A)  3 and 1                

    B)  3 and 3

    C)  3 and 2                

    D)  1 and 3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The focal length of each portion of lens corresponding to a certain material will be given by                 \[\frac{1}{f}=(\mu -1)\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\] \[\left[ \because \,\,\left( \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)\text{is}\,\,\text{constant}\,\,\text{for}\,\,\text{all}\,\,\text{lenses} \right]\] Thus, for lens\[P\], three different portions passes three different focal lengths and hence corresponding to the same object distance there will be three images for each. For lens\[Q\], the combination of the three lenses would effectively act as a single lens and hence only one image is formed.
