Consider a 'beam expander' which consists of two converging lenses of focal length 40 cm and 100 cm having a common optical axis. A laser beam of diameter 4 mm is incident on the 40 cm focal length lens. Then what is the diameter of the final beam (see figure)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1 cm

From similar triangles `(0.4)/(40) = (x)/(100) , x = 1` cm
