Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

In a certain camera, a combination of four similar thin convex lenses is arranged axially in contact. Then the power of the combination and the total magnification, in comparison to the power (pp) and magnification (mm) of each lens, will be, respectively:

  1. A.4p4p and 4m4m
  2. B.p4p^4 and 4m4m
  3. C.4p4p and m4m^4✓
  4. D.p4p^4 and m4m^4

Solution

Powers of thin lenses in contact add: Ptotal=4pP_{total} = 4p. Magnifications multiply: mtotal=m4m_{total} = m^4.
