Homework Statement
A thin plano-convex lens of focal length f is split into two equal halves. One of the halves is shifted along the optical axis as shown. The separation etween the object and the image planes is 1.8m and the magnification of the image formed by one of the half lens is 2. The separation between the two halves is d. Find out f and d.
The Attempt at a Solution
Let the distance between the first half and the object be x.
This half will form an image at a distance given by (by using lens equation)
v= fx/f+x
This will act as an object for the second lens with distance v+d and the image is formed at a distance v1 = f(v+d)/f+v+d
we have x+d+v1 = 1.8
3 equations and 5 variables.
