Two converging lenses of unequal focal l...

Two converging lenses of unequal focal lengths can be used to reduce the aperture of a parallel beam of light without loosing the energy of the light. This increases the intensity. Describe how the converging lenses should be placed to do this.

In the figure shown a converging lens and a diverging lens of focal lengths 20cm and -5cm respectively are separated by a distance such that a paralel beam of light of intensity 100 watt//m^(2) incident on the converging lens comes out as parallel beam from the diverging lens. Find the intensity of the outgoing beam in watt//m^(2)

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)

Two converging glass lenses A and B have focal lengths in the ratio 2:1 . The radius of curvature of first surface of lens A is 1/4 th of the second surface where as the radius of curvature of first surface of lens B is twice that of second surface. Then the ratio between the radii of the first surfaces of A and B is

Figure given below shows a beam of light converging at point P. When a concave lens of focal length 16cm is introduced in the path of the beam at a place O shown by dotted line such that OP becomes the axis of the lens, the beam converges at a distance x from the lens. The value x will be equal to

L is a lens such that a parallel beam of light I ncident on it, after refraction, converges to a point at a distance x from it and M is a mirror such that a parallel lbeam of light incident on it, after reflection, converges to a point at a distance y from it. Now the lens L and mirror M are placed at a distan 2(x+y) from each other. An object of size 2 cm is kept infront of lens at a distance 2x from it. Find the nature, position , and size of the image that willl be seen by an observer looking toward the mirror through the lens.
