Question

Two thin convex lenses of focal lengths f1 and f2 are separated by a horizontal distance d(d<f1 and d<f2) and their centers are displaced by a vertical separation as shown in figure. A parallel beam of rays coming from left. Take the origin of coordinates O at the center of first lens.
Find the x-coordinates in the same problem from the focal point of this lens system.

Solution

The correct option is A d(f1d)+f1f2(f1+f2d)
The parallel rays will be focussed at the focal point of the first lens. The first image lies at I, at a distance f1 from the origin. This image I1 will act as an object for refraction through the second lens. The object distance for the second lens, u=(f1d).
From lens equation, 1v1+(f1d)=1f2
v=f2(f1d)(f1+f2d)
Hence, the x-coordinate of final image I2 is
x=d+u=d+f2(f1d)(f1+f2d)=d(f1d)+f1f2(f1+f2d)
